Do you really want to add 30% to the cost of a new home? And pay an extra 30% in interest on the borrowing price? 30-40% more for your legal services? Do you want your rents to go up 30%? Do you really think that massive evasion would not follow? We would move back to a black market cash economy so fast it would take all of Ben Bernanke's printing presses working overtime to create enough cash for the black market economy.

If my income went up 30% (because of elimination of income tax), why not? The anti-FairTax people need to stick to logical arguments and avoid emotional appeals.

 wait wait wait, what?  why would i?  i'm gonna cling on to this extra 30%, or 23%, or whatever else number.

 if you're the sort that hands it back and thinks "i'm not losing out here!  the overall conomy will benefit!  efficiencies go up!"   i tip my hat off to you.  it'll be nice if every individual in a society behaves that way, since FairTax would actually work.
