You could say it works. The rich take a piss and it trickles down to the poor.

Actually, I am starting to like the idea of FairTax bill (having a 23% national sales tax and eliminating the IRS, income tax, corporate tax (most barely pay taxes anyways or find loopholes), etc.. Prices would go up at first but should come down quickly (to about where they were at in first place). Plus, most basic needs would be refunded (I'd rather not tax non prepared food at all). However, they would just send a refund each month based on size of family for basic needs.
