I like the idea of the Fair Tax but I admit I know little about it's specifics. I think the problem people have at, least it's my problem, is when you see tax rates that are in the low single digits or nothing for major corporations or the very wealthy. My tax rate is near 20% not counting state Tax. That is what makes me people upset. The idea that lower incomes pay higher total percentages. At the same time I understand the complaint that the wealthy pay more in dollars.
