It's really not fair to argue against something you refuse to admit to being "too lazy" to attempt to understand in depth. I know you're a fan of free markets and personal responsibility so I *KNOW* you will like Fairtax once you understand how it works. I understand not wanting to read a book about Economics. I've read enough Econ books to know they are great to keep next to the bed, but the book isn't really needed to understand the basics of Fairtax. I would recommend reading the book if you really want to understand it's motivations and impact in greater depth. Just like most Economic concepts, it's really something you have to try to understand and learn about. What we are discussing isn't a trivial matter - we aren't talking about whether or not the Patriots really are the greatest team NFL in history, we are talking about fundamentally changing the way this nation pays for it's infrastructure, common defense, and other national interests. It's not something that can or should be explained on the back of a napkin. However, I can understand the need for brevity. Check out the link below, and read the drilldowns for the "Fairtax Five" found on the page. It's only three pages or so or reading and specifically answers the biggest questions being brought up here. http://www.fairtax.org/site/PageServer?pagename=about_main -Cameron ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:252231 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
