Pilsnerurquel…
I simply do not understand how anyone can say that totally untaxing the poor is of no benefit. Nor would taxing those at double the poverty level at a rate of 11.5%. Today an inclusive 26% of my earnings are taken by federal taxes before I see a dime. Under the FairTax the maximum rate is 23% and, in my case, 12.7% after the prebate is applied.
As for your last statement, the FairTax is very practical, Florida and Texas function very well without an income tax, it is constitutional because it is proportional and the only people it’s not fair to are those who are not paying taxes today.

Stonewall -- May I ask why you do not consider the FairTax to be fair?

It is apparent that neither you nor the first commenter are very familiar with all the provisions of the FairTax, in particular, the Prebate.
When applied, the Prebate totally untaxes the poorest among us. Those at the poverty level would effectively pay no tax and those below that level would even have additional spendable income. Because no one pays tax up to the poverty level, those who spend at double the poverty level would have an effective tax rate at half the published rate.
Please, complete the research. It only degrades the appearance of your knowledge and intellect when you comment without having reviewed the complete information.

jafo - The money comes from the broad base. Many people do not pay any tax today but will under the FairTax. The IRS admits to $300 Billion uncollected taxes each year, and that's just the part they admit. The 50 million tourists who come here each year will pay the tax.

Blixx,
I see your name so often and it makes me wonder if you are a paid shill of fairtaxfraud or if you are simply a naive wannabee being used by the sites sponsors. By the way, who are the site's sponsors and do they have a plan beyond shouting fire in a theater?
