THE “FAIR” TAX IS A WELFARE SCAM
Monday, August 28, 2006
***Begin Quote***
The “Fair Tax” is at least as bad as the income tax in every way, and worse in some ways. It’s not a tax cut. It’s not a tax elimination. It’s just a strengthening of the tax system by linking it to a welfare program — just like Social Security, which has been a “third rail” issue in American politics for half a century precisely because millions of Americans have a vested interest in keeping the checks coming.

Oh just what we need is another “dole”! Fair tax, Flat Tax, Income Tax, or Estate Tax is just tax. More of the same piled higher and deeper.
Taxes are an immoral theft of both people’s time and their past, present, and future effort. It’s an ineffective way to accomplish things. It’s inefficient in both how much it costs to collect them (i.e., we pay for the IRS and we spend time filling out stupid forms) and how much it misses (i.e., underground economy).
Let’s start getting out of this hole now!
