The things I like about the fair tax is getting rid of capitol gains taxes, the death tax and the IRS.<BR/>If we can keep our money and invest it without being taxed on the money we earn on the investment, it will encourage people to invest money in the economy. Plus, since some stuff will not be taxed, if you refrain from buying big ticket items, then you will actually pay less in taxed.

I've always liked the ides of some sort of sales tax instead of income tax makes a tremendous amount of sense. In addition to the concrete benefits, I am also in favor of reducing the ways the tax code can be twisted to control taxpayer behavior.Sevesteenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15439626386416115766noreply@blogger.com
