The Fair Tax???

[Automotive8r]

If anyone has any educated info on "The Fair Tax", I would be very interested to hear it. I have not read the book, but am thinking about it. I'm not a great fan of Huckabee, but he is the only candidate that believes in it. I've been to the website a while back, http://www.fairtax.org/site/PageServer, and liked what I read. I have to read the book before I come to any conclusion though. Anybody read the book and mind sharing some thoughts on it?

Thanks!

Easier to understand.

If 10 of us order a 10 piece pizza for 10 bucks how much should each of us pay?

Well, thankee, sir!

I haven't STUDIED the proposal (and won't bother until it appears emplimentation could be eminent), but, I have read several articals on it. AT FIRST GLANCE it would seem to be a far superior system than the loophole ridden mess we have now (but then, what WOULDN'T?). HOWEVER - the devil's in the details. And we really don't know what those are yet.

(Forbes and Huckabee are strongly onboard with this idea if I remember correctly.)

The person that can afford to pay should pay more than the person that cannot pay.

The person that cannot pay should eat as many pieces as they wish. The ones that can pay the most can buy another pizza if they are still hungry.

Ever since I went on a diet I have cut back...
Used to order a pizza just for myself, and cut it into 10 slices...
That was to much.
Now I order the same size pizza and only cut it into 4 slices...
