The 30% Sales Tax/Rebate Fraud

These are the names (below) of Congress persons that want to inflict upon you one of the most UNFAIR tax systems ever invented.

Do you want a tax system that is REGRESSIVE?   Perhaps, if you are very wealthy, since that is who it will benefit the most.

If you take anything away from this discussion, it should be this:

• Ask yourself:
   
  • WHO will love this Un-FairTax.org 30% Sales Tax/Prebate System the most ?
  • and WHY ? 
   
• After the puny prebate is gone (or insignificant at higher income levels), it is nothing more than a simple, flat 30% SALES Tax.
   
• After the puny prebate is gone (or insignificant at higher income levels; about $2400 for the single person, $5902 for family of 4), spending is taxed at a massive 30% (including food, medical, prescriptions, etc.). That is, after the rebate is gone, it is a pure 30% Sales tax.   Also a single person a $2400 prebate does not mean the recipient (a single person) has $8K to spend (i.e. the equivalent amount that would be un-taxed by a $2400 prebate).  That is far different from simply not taxing income below the poverty level (as recommended in this 17% Income Tax Only On Income Above the Poverty Level).
    
• Can you say:  Black Market ?
   
• After the puny prebate is gone, ALL Sales taxes are REGRESSIVE, unless EVERYONE spends the same percentage of their gross income, in which case it is only NEUTRAL; not progressive.  These claims of being progressive is a half-truth only.  It is essentially a clever fraud.
    
• Ask those that support the Un-FairTax.org's 30% Sales Tax/Prebate system to explain away these many serious issues. Then observe the many clever techniques to cloud the issues, obscure the facts, change the subject, and avoid your questions (typical cheater tactics).
    
• Where is the proof that the regressive 30% Sales Tax/Prebate Tax system, which taxes spending, is more fair than taxing gross income equally?
    
• There is a better way that is much more fair and simple:  a FLAT 17% income tax that only taxes income above the poverty-level; no tax loopholes, and no corporate income taxes (that simply get passed on to consumers as more hidden & regressive sales taxes)?   Which tax system do you prefer?
