9-9-9 (or 9-0-9 OR 9-9-9-9) is nothing more than a smoke-screen for the so-called “FairTax”.

To promote it as “THE” (Income) Tax slayer is disingenuous.

Is the Fair Tax Act really fair? Is the current tax process the true cause of the problem? There is no doubt that there are flaws with our current tax system, but from the info that I have gathered, there are just as many flaws with the Fair Tax Act. Maybe there are some root factors that caused the current system to come into question. I think the government’s wild spending should be the first factor to be evaluated. Then we should look at our own spending. How many of us buy houses, cars… you name it, that we truely cannot afford? These are just a couple off the top of my head.

“Tax everyone the same” ???????

“poor” people pay nothimg NET, i.e. we pay them even more than we do now.

The “same” ???????? the guy who spend $1MM (pre-tax) pays (before Prebate) $300M. The guy who spend $10 (pre-tax) pays only $3,000 (before Prebate) — how is that the “same” to you???????? (that they pay the same tax RATE is on mildy relevant, but the huge difference in their bottom line tax burden is what’s relevant.

To Fair ax Guys # 1, 2 & 24.

If you go to the “Fair Tax-Related Resrearch” limk on this website’s home page, you will link to Morphh’s comprehensive liust of Papers on this subject.

At the end of that list is a sectionb, “Unpublished Papers” (for those of us who do not work at a scholl or think tank, but have lived in the business/professsional world) and you the only Paper in that group is mine, “Replacing the Income Tax”. I have extensively footnoted my Paper with references to several of the “Published” papers on that list – you can call me with any questions, comments or assistance.

I am a student at Ivy Tech Community college doing some research on the FairTax act.
From what I have studied so far I do not agree 100% with the Fair Tax law, but I think that people should not become violent over the subject and instead should just argue peacably with each other.

I am a student at Ivy Tech Community college doing some research on the FairTax act.
There are arguments that can go for either side of the coin, some Pro and some Con. One Con is that The Fair Tax does nothing to solve the underlying cause of high taxation, which is excessive government spending. As long as the federal government keeps spending taxpayer dollars on things that it has no business being involved with in the first place, it will continue to require high taxes in order to finance its expenditures, including the increasing cost of the national debt. Simply changing the method of taxation is not going to change the root causes of unfair taxes. A Pro is that Federal income taxes would be completely abolished. According to Fairtax.org, this would include all ancillary taxes on personal income such as estate, gift, capital gains, alternative minimum, self-employment, Social Security, Medicare, and payroll taxes.

I am a current student attending Ivy Tech Community College in Sellersburg, IN we are studying the pros and cons of the fairtax.

9-9-9 ends the payroll tax but will this eliminate the IRS? I like the 9% Individual Flat tax & national sales tax.
