I can live with that. Hell, I'm a financial planner and long term tax management strategies are one of the key things that I do for my clients. The FairTax would eliminate one of the big parts of my business and its passage would almost certainly affect my personal business negatively. However, so certain am I that the FairTax would help America that I am willing to make that sacrifice of a little money in my pocket to support it.
