Quote:Oh, that's a good point. Now, instead of letting them eat cake, we'll let them eat cake that's already had a few bites taken out of it. Brilliant!

Hyperbole much?

The Fair Tax wouldn't eliminate things like food stamps, so a poor family would still get "free" food and "free" healthcare payed for by someone else.

Big ticket items are frequently bought used. Most houses are resold several times. Cars are commonly bought used. Good clothing deals are available at Goodwill. It's not up to the government to take the money of someone who worked hard for it and give it to someone else so they can have brand new clothes instead of perfectly good second hand clothes.

There are winners and losers. The working poor actually make out better with the Fair Tax because of the elimination of FICA. The ones who will end up paying somewhat more are the upper middle class.
