Morgan- So it's really good for you, though not spectacular in the way it was for some others on the list. Granted this is all theoretical, but it does pretty much destroy your arguments when you said: "for me, living paycheck to paycheck barely getting by, unable to save any of my monthly income, I'd actually pay significantly more in taxes that way that the current system. Doesn't quite seem "fair" to me."
So using their numbers, while it's not great for you, it's not actually bad. -Cameron morgan l wrote: > Had trouble finding the link, so here's the direct page: > http://www.fairtax.org/site/PageServer?pagename=calculator > > I get +0.78% spendable income.
