It doesn't say anywhere that it won't be taxed but we are discussing personal income tax.. i know if i owned a company i would use all major purchases as company write off's... which can be easily done when you have a staff dedicated to your accounting
now my question is why should a stock boy not be entitled to the same? some will say he is but in reality we all know the truth to that question. I know within 2 years my wife and i will be in the upper paying brackets, but that is expected... You make more you spend more you pay more. Its just how it is. But I don't see the Fair Tax fixing all of our issues.. i'm totaly for it if we have a full proof plan but it isn't there yet nor are we ready to go that route. This isn't a thing we can just try out to see if it works we are talking about reinventing the wheel.
Loop holes will the fall of this system much like our current tax system. If its a fair tax there should be NO loop holes. I'm sorry but multi million dollar churches should have to pay the same in taxes that a mom/pop shop does. The problem is where the lines are drawn on where taxes don't have to be paid.
One other big assumption about Fair Tax is the spending habits... the Top 50% of tax payers pay roughly 95+% according to the 2001 tax break down above. So that Lower 50% is only going to continue to provide 5% of taxes? Sorry but thats a big assumption to this system; just b/c some people make more doesn't mean they are going to be purchasing more and the % will stay the same. I would be awful afraid to see what would happen if they are wrong.

(some things would be nice to loose welfare, etc but i education and other things may start to get cut)
ps. that quote was from fairtax.org if i'm not mistaken... i'll have to find it again.
