It sounds like the Fair Tax just eliminates income tax but makes sales tax equally as complicated... My biggest worry would be that you are now putting the check and balances part of taxation on many individual businesses rather than a governmental institution.
The sales tax would actually be far less complicated. For example: the current tax code is 66,000 pages long. The Fair Tax code would be 133 pages.
And I don't see how businesses would have any checks and balances on them. They don't have any power or anything in this. They just pay the government part of what they sell, much like they do now anyway, but just more so.
And even if it did, isn't that what libertarians are all about? ;)
Possible Slogans:
ReplyDelete"Huckabee- Fuck Yeah!"
"Don't be that guy. Vote Huckabee."
Obama: "Well, I have Oprah endorsing me."
Huckabee: "Yeah, well I got fuckin' Chuck."
"Stick it to the douchebags. Vote Huckabee."
"No gimmicks needed. Mike Huckabee."
"Huck yeah!!!"
