| Final-Fan said: To be fair, Kasz, ridiculous failures like the 360's RROD are bad for the company in any case. But yeah, you could expect a lot more "planned obsolescence" from any company that doesn't stake its reputation on having its stuff last forever. On another note, I would prefer you didn't complain about the FairTax not creating a Utopian paradise singlehandedly. I feel like you're just a human strawman for Eomund to rip into. |
That's just an objection to the name. Nothing can create an utopian paradise as they don't exist, and couldn't exist atleast not in my view. Hence when discussing it using the name "Fair tax" is kinda stupid.
I'm not particuarly against the fair tax, i just generally think it won't do a lot of what proponents will think and in reality will end up with about as much problems as the current system, if not more depending on how a few key areas work out. It might turn out slightly better or slightly worse, who knows. After all the prebate system would need quite the goverment agency behind it and would seem quite suseptable to fraud. As would some companies underwriting shipements and marking sales as ones that arn't taxable when they should be.
I'd probably be better off as i'm pretty thrifty aside from my love of videogames.
