Apparently not Final. I do not believe that this current system is good, but I have to live with it until we change it. I do not know where you got those numbers but I call BS. I believe that having the tax haven of the world would create more jobs and more opportunities to improve my standing. I further believe in taking home my whole paycheck. I do want the FairTax to pass. There is not much that can deter me of that wish. If you take out the Cost of Compliance of the current tax code for businesses and the matching payroll taxes for businesses the costs of business decrease and then the companies can lower the prices of good and services. The FairTax isn't applied to Used Items. That could reduce the cost of housing too (not saying for sure that it will, but it could). If I got all my money from my work, then I could shop for used items in such categories as: Clothing, furnishings, electronics, other non-perishable items, etc. and not pay taxes. PLUS I get my Prebate check every month, so I am taking home more useable money than I could under the current system.
For more detailed examples, read some of my earlier posts in this thread.
