I'd love to see a flat tax, but the number would be quite a bit higher than 10%.

The number I've seen is 22% sales tax on everything. I'd still make out like a bandit.


22% sales tax with no income tax?


Still not possible. Heck, Tuscaloosa is already at 10% by itself. That would only leave 12% for the feds.


Don't know...that's just the number I've seen.

44% of Americans pay zero income tax now. Many of those are drains on the government. At least with a fair tax, those individuals would begin to pay more to pull their own weight.

The biggest problem I have with the fair tax would be the implementation of it, so that retired seniors wouldn't be affected by it. You'd be talking about folks that had paid income tax all their lives, and have to start paying higher sales taxes as well.
