The FairTax, Join in!

[Myahon]

Fairtax has gained a LOT of popularity since my politics teacher told me about it years ago.

Used to be only Ron Paul supported it now A handful of republicans and democrats support it and some hint at it.

For reference Rome had a flat tax of 10% and Japan has a "fair tax" of 6% but analysts say they might have to raise it to 10%

If it were done in America it would be about 23% Which considering I'd be axed 23% (we are taxed pretty high, it's cause we have 4 times the military budget of any other country to upkeep our foreign bases) of what I SPEND as compared to right now me below the poverty line even when i make under $10,000 a year I still get taxed 30% of ALL my income right now. So it would benefit me, but business owners (like my mother the fatcat) wouldn't get to write off expenses.

But the reason those businesses would still support it is because it means everyone on the very first paycheck they get after this gets what they percieve as a massive raise and goes spending. Besides Rich guys who get out of taxes because they can hire accountants are screwed, and the Technically unconstitutional IRS is abolished.

One thing that absolutely needs to be done befor OR after this, is we need to list the price of the product AFTER tax on it's price label. America is the only country IN THE WORLD that doesn't list price after tax befor it's bought.

I'm not gonna pretend I can predict how this would end up, all i know for sure is po' folks like me get a tax break and people who live below poverty could even be given a tax exempt card which would be swiped like a food stamp card to simply remove the taxes from their purchases (churches already have that) It's not as insane as it sounds but it is risky.

I'm not sure it'll work but I won't fight it either.
