Two things to remember:


1. How much more could you do with a sudden 30% pay INCREASE, especially if that increase allows you to KEEP the money if you can CONTROL your spending YOURSELF????

2. How much more money do you think will be collected as straight revenue if you suddenly have a way to MAKE MILLIONS of people that just yesterday weren't paying a dime pay into the system? Remember that it's people just like this that is driving existing public assistance systems into virtual bankruptcy, ala Social Security. They don't pay INTO the same system they receive benefits FROM. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out how that doesn't work. I'm willing to bet that this figure alone would be in millions if not BILLIONS of dollars rather quickly. Look at how much money is being simply sent overseas to other countries now. Imagine if you could TAX that money via the Fair Tax. How much MORE revenue would there be? Now think about how much even more than that would there be if they were taxed BEFORE it was sent overseas.

Folks, I don't see how a revenue neutral proposal would not appeal to everyone. Wait, I know why.....because most have no clue what that is. Here is a great article that shows exactly how that works:

Again, how sweet would it be to no longer have no capital gains taxes, payroll taxes, gift taxes, estate taxes, minimum alternative taxes, etc. All of these taxes that exist now are either a form of double taxation or just plain BS tax.
