Thanks for the pointer to the calculator. They didn't have that when last I looked into the "fair tax." I got a kick out of the way the calculator expressed my results. With the Fair Tax, you get: -4.75% MORE spendable income. -$3,400.54 MORE purchasing power. -$2,971.04 LESS federal taxes. Perhaps they think that a negative number followed by "less" will fool people. The biggest flaw I see in the calculator with my limited experience is that they don't ask you how much you spend. They don't allow for those spending their savings. I tried entering a negative savings but it automatically and incorrectly converted the number to positive.
