This is a farce, it can not happen. Its like me saying I will tax myself 10,000 dollars a day. Oh, I can write a check for it, I can even deposit my own check in my own account. But at the end of the month, I dont have 300,000.

Incredibly, Fairtax thinks they will have 300,000.

For example, when the Fairtax makes the US Navy pay 4 billion in “sales tax” on a 12 billion dollar aircraft carrier — the Navy can write the check, The Treasury can even cash the check But the Treasury isnt a dime ahead. The treasury had to issue the money to cover the check.

This fallacy — one of many in Fairtax — means the 23% will have to be 35%.

Another major fallacy — Fairtax pretends it will be able to tax health care. That means cancer patients, stroke victims, nursing home patients, kidnes transplant patients — all of them will get huge tax bills. One cancer patient could easly get a tax bill for 50,000 in sales tax on their surgery and chemo,.

A single nursing home patient could easily be charged 25,000 in sales taxes per year. The parents of a child with luekemia could be charged 50,000 sales tax on expensive drugs and care.

The outcry from these folks will be like nothing US history has ever seen before. Congress would quickly exempt health care expenses from a high sales tax.

So the rate would have to be adjusted up — to 55%. Then auto manufactures willl have to get an exemption, or go out of business. New Home sales — will get an exemption.

FreedomWorks.org needs to create a Flat Tax website like FairTax.org. With the same amount of detail, except about the Flat Tax not the FairTax. The Flat Tax website would need Activist Tools/Features (i.e. a contact lawmakers, a pledge, a petition, etc). Do what FairTax.org does, except for the Flat Tax instead.
