An increased tax on everything we buy, with the removal of the income taxes. This way the less you spend/buy, the less you're taxed. Also, people like Bill Gates who make say 200,000$ a year on their salary can't avoid the taxes any more.
Go. |

How often do they get that rebate?
This seems more complicated than just keeping an income tax and making a flat rate. Perhaps a couple of people here and there will get away with some money. It's not really that big of a deal. |

You'd think so, but on the left is the current tax code, on the right is the fairtax.

Won't work, considering 10% is tax rate at the lowest tax bracket right now, and that people in the 95th percentile (who are responsible for over half of income tax revenue) are taxed at a higher rate. |
