No, you said you wanted the flat tax. That taxes income. It taxes at
the same rate for all. Would not be very good for the poor folks, thats
for sure. Funny though, the fair tax is the best deal for the poor
people that you liberals want to help.

You are asking questions that do not apply. There is no reporting of

Your SS# has NOTHING to do with collecting the fair tax. It is
collected by the store at the time of purchase. Now we are getting tax
money from folks who earn their money the illegal way and currently do
not pay taxes. We also will get tax money from people visiting from
foreign countries.

In that senario the same thing happens: tax is paid on the final sale no matter
where the money comes from. Find it on the street, your piggy bank, the

The Fair tax plan is basically to eliminate all taxes except sales tax on
the final product. No IRS, no company to company sales tax [so less
advantage to move business away from US soil], so final prices should come
down also if at every step no taxes have to be added to the final price. No
