Simple, we start throwing in breaks and credits for various things like education, low income, children, and things like that.
Then you also have people that horde money. Take a CEO of a company that makes more money than he can possibly spend. A sales tax actually helps the rich a lot more. The rest of us that spend most of our money will probably be in the same boat. Our check will be bigger but things will cost more. Then if we want to take advantage of things like education credits we'll have to figure out some way to know how much each person paid out at the register. > -----Original Message----- > From: Scott Stewart [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, January 10, 2006 5:37 PM > To: CF-Community > Subject: RE: FairTax (was Re: Next in line to be labelled) > > Where would there be room for fraud if the tax is taken "at the register". > > Scott A.
