The "fair tax" would result in a higher tax burden for the poor and middle class and a lower tax burden for the rich and corporations. I guarantee the fair tax would be higher than 7.65% so you can throw that argument right out the window. The fair tax is indeed not fair because a gallon of milk costs the same whether you're a billionaire or if you're barely scraping by. And you can only drink one gallon at a time. Much higher tax burden for the poor and middle class. It's telling that they call it the "fair tax" when it's anything but fair. Typical Orwellian doublespeak. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. War is peace.

I wish I had such a simple, dumbed down, black and white worldview. It would be a lot easier than seeing the world as a complex thing.

News flash: the Taliban is in charge of Afghanistan. They have been for at least ten years, despite the US military presence. And they will be in charge after the military is gone. The Afghan war has been a huge failure.

No, they'll horde the money like they already do. >>Half our problem is the rich want to be richer, > > Duh... everybody wants to be richer... Not true. Many persons are perfectly happy with the amount of money that they have. And another news flash: many of them aren't wealthy at all. Greed isn't a universal condition. >>even if it means taxing the poor more. I think it's one percent >>of the households in the US control almost half the wealth. > > Yep, its the result of the income tax chasing out the good jobs to > overseas and cross border locations, so the employees have been making > less and less money and more and more crappy jobs. No, it is deregulation that has shipped the jobs overseas. Make it a federal crime to outsource jobs or at least increase the tariffs on imported goods to a level that it is counterproductive to ship jobs overseas. >>Wal-Marts CEO makes the equivalent of $10,000 an hour while most >>Assocuates >>barely make minimum wage. > > Yep.

Our farms have been taken over by corporations. Our manufacturing base has been sent overseas. >>It's all about corporate greed, but that's OK by most Republicans. > > What's with the "corporate greed" hate speech? That is just silly. > EVERYBODY is greedy - wants more - so what? If you don't want more, > you're probably dead. As I said, not everybody is greedy. Not everyone lives in your world. Some of us just want simple lives, not extravagant palaces and 20 BMWs, Some of us are happy with a modest house and a modest car. > Just wait.

That kind of stuff goes on today, but it's the insurance companies rather than the government making these decisions. Why is it so bad to you for government to make those decisions while it's fine and dandy for the corrupt criminal insurance companies to make the same decisions? That's something that no right-winger has been able to answer.
