Fair tax plan, the way i see it will help everyone. Drug dealers, illegals, "under the table employees" will all have to pay taxes. It has its kinks that need to be ironed out, but with work I think it could be possible.

Now please. Explain to me why the "rich" dont need help. Considering the top 20% of the population support 80% of the tax base. Im pretty sure they deserve help.

Of course, we coul always go with what the dems want, 70% tax on people making over 100,000 per year. That would be great. Socialism at its finest Paul.
fine i'll break it down for you...

we'll say you make 25k a year... and we have fair tax... so you are going to pay more in taxes for the things you buy... ok cool. you go buy a new car you pay these new increased taxes for our new Fair Tax system.

now joe blow millionare in the 7 digit category goes to purchase his new ferrari under his company so his personal assets aren't touched the company pays the taxes. what exactly is he paying taxes on if he is writing this shit off? i work for an insurance company and i know for a fact we have 3 $100,000+ benz, 1 $80,000+ porshce, and a few more bmw/benz under are company for write offs for personal cars. Not a single one of the drivers are paying taxes on these cars.

If the majority of tax money in our system comes from the top 10% i don't see how it will be possible to keep making that amount for our gov't if these people are allowed to write off major purchases through corporations.

If you make more you should be taxed more, but there is a limit to this... the small amount they are paying in taxes they will never miss anyway; and your not/nor will likely be in that tax bracket so why does it matter?
