Come on, it is a joke. Read the phase 1 - Business Flat Tax – 9% Gross income less all investments, all purchases from other businesses and all dividends paid to shareholders. Empowerment Zones will offer additional deductions for payroll employed in the zone. Individual Flat Tax – 9%. Gross income less charitable deductions. Empowerment Zones will offer additional deductions for those living and/or working in the zone. National Sales Tax – 9%. This gets the Fair Tax off the sidelines and into the game. This means that IRS is still alive and well. It doesn't matter whether the amount is 9% on business or 25% - the "need" to verify is still there. Charitable deductions - someone needs to be there to determine what that is. Empowerment zones - again boondoggles waiting to happen. Currently, states have a sales tax. So, now sales taxes in my state would be 19%! Imagine a poor person who lives paycheck to paycheck. They will now be paying 20% of their income in taxes. Is that fair by any imagination? Interestingly, his "summary" of phase 1 is longer than the phase 1 itself! In phase 2, he eliminates business and indiv taxes. That means sales tax has to go up.

Hey, To talk to me like that - you have to turn around and look at the choir.LOL I'm in !!! Give me details and stand for what you believe in. Make it plain make it simple and disconnect the Washington imbelical chord from me - it is parastic. The man has satisfied my requirements. Obama makes me embarrassed every time I hear his voice. The biggest lieing president ever in office - what a claim to fame.SAD. Bad Experiment gone wrong. If you voted for Obama,because you didn't want to be called a racist - then this time do not vote for Obama because you don't want to be called STUPID. He is just plain not ready to lead and vastly incompetent. Bob
