Real Tax Reform

Well said. Mr. Vances “plan” has NO specifics
To the rest, I agree Gov’t must be shrunk, but a safety net for those not as fortunate should exist. What do we do with the unfortunate? Say F it and just let them die? Survival of the fittest?

Actually, Fmr. Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee would try to fund payroll tax programs like Social Security under the FairTax. And one argument can be made that for a pure FairTax, all excise taxes (including the Federal Gas Tax) except those retail-based ones should be abolished to prevent massive double-taxation on goods. Thank you and no offense to FairTax opponents.
