Sorry I wasn't near a computer to reply. I was trying to be rational. I can also be passionate at the same time. I am glad that more people have posted providing new points of view.
Regarding the FairTax again... This is from your link.
"The Advisory Panel did in fact begin with the 30 percent figure that proponents of the FairTax submitted. But the panel rejected those figures, claiming that they were based, at least in part, on the unrealistic assumption that there would be full compliance with the FairTax. In other words, proponents assume that no one will cheat on taxes. However, the Treasury Department estimates that the evasion rate for the entire U.S. tax system under current law is approximately 15 percent. The Advisory Panel accordingly assumed a 15 percent evasion rate for the FairTax."
The problem with assuming the 15% is that to evade the FairTax it takes more than one person. How many companies would be willing compliant with illegal activities? Granted there will be some evasion but to assume 15% evasion rate for something that would be obvious to the people overseeing the collection would be ludicrous. Not that many companies would be willing to commit an illegal activity with such a harsh penalty. Again it will happen, but not at the 15% they are claiming. As such the group's chart are bogus.
(BTW when you ASSUME, you make an "ASS-out of-U-and-ME")
SO again I call BS.
