Even if I were to grant that the graph that FactCheck.org uses wasn't properly fact-checked (which I emphatically do not), the trends still hold true. The extremely poor and very rich benefit at the cost of the middle class.
And, hey, you trust your precious Americans for Fair Taxation, right?
Notice the similarity in relative numbers, with [edit: two] exception[s]: [the AFT graph shows less benefit to the poor in both "before" and "after", and] THE EFFECT THE FAIR TAX WILL HAVE ON VERY HIGH INCOME LEVELS IS HIDDEN. They don't want you to see that the major benefits of the "FairTax" are to the very top earners.
You can argue about how much more efficient the FairTax will supposedly be, but trying to deny that the rich are the primary beneficiaries is just pathetic.
Also, I want sources on your allegations about the graph, and don't forget that the source has to specify that it is the data that [edit: that] graph draws on that is incorrect.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
