The only 'fair tax' is one that doesn't penalize the middle class.

the only fair tax is every citizen paying the same percentage as the next. Everyone should be taxed the same on every item that they purchase, not get money back they didn't pay in because they wouldnt motivate themselves to earn more

I disagree.
The middle class pays more in proportion to their income than the wealthy.
Nothing fair or equitable about that.

Here's some info on the Fair Tax from FactCheck.org:
http://www.factcheck.org/taxes/unspinning_the_fairtax.html
Doesn't sound like a good idea to me.
And since Mike Huckabee, who is clinically insane, supports it, all the more reason to oppose it.

Yes, I did read it. All of it.
'Everyone should be taxed the same'
Also, 'they wouldnt motivate themselves to earn more'.
Ridiculous, how can they earn more when they are already taxed to death?

it isn't my problem if someone does not desire to be more in life than a local clerk. entry level jobs are there for students to learn the work force, not support a family on. If you chose to not get an education, and better yourself that is your right, but I shouldnt have to pay you to do it. "earned income credit", it is nothing more than theft. they take money from me every year and force me to sponsor a family I have never met. Why is your plight my problem and vice versa? You live here the same as I. You use the roads the same as I do, and you use the public services just like me. If I get taxed 69% on my dollar, so should you. Nobody handed me anyhting, why should I be forced to hand it to someone else.. You know what that is called? It is called SOCIALISM
