It seems his only real argument is that FairTax doesn't do enough--but he
doesn't introduce any cogent arguments as to why it's no better than our
current form of taxation.
Sure, smaller federal government would be great--but do you honestly
expect the federal government to vote for a drastically reduced federal
government? Ha! At least this proposal is a step in the right direction.
What's so hysterical about that? If the government found out that you
were making money as a baby sitter, do you think it would just turn away
and not make your customers pay tax on it?
They'd probably do what they currently do now with babysitters and tax.
