What would boost savings is paying reasonable interest on savings.

 

[basquebromance]

i would design the fair tax in a way that it doesnt end up as a windfall for the rich. we need to focus on the poor, my friends. the best course in the long term is to simplify the tax code and eliminate taxes on savings

The "fair tax" only helps the 99th percentile, they don't need it. Fuck their "loopholes" too.
They can afford to pay tax like the rest of us.

Trump can't pass that or any other tax or law.

Try reading your constitution sometime. Till then say no more on similar topics.

Then maybe you need help with reading comprehension. Cite the part where the administration enacts tax law. The administration can sign off on it or veto but the veto can be overturned so it's the job of congress alone.

A "fair tax" is nothing but a new name for a flat tax.

Which is a HUGE tax cut for the very wealthy and a MONSTER tax increase for everyone else.

As a conservative, I like the Fair Tax. It is a tax on consumption, rather than a tax on production like the income tax is.

It also mitigates the regressive nature of a sales tax with the prebate.

However, no tax reform will be of any use if we allow exemptions to the Fair Tax. And you can bet your bottom dollar that is exactly what would happen. Just like the special interests have done to our income tax, they would thoroughly corrupt the Fair Tax by paying our politicians to put exemptions to the tax in the tax code.

We need to get to the root of the problem. And the root is the fact we allow our politicians to put exemptions, deductions, and credits in our tax code on behalf of special interests. We need to take that power away from them.

If you are in favor of tax deductions, exemptions, and credits, then you are not really interested in reducing the debt.

Real tax fairness would start eliminating 99 percent of the taxes that we're paying, not creating new ones.

False!

Flat Tax--- A "flat tax" is an income tax system in which everyone pays the same tax rate regardless of how much income they have.

Fair Tax-- The FairTax is a national sales tax that treats every person equally and allows American businesses to thrive, while generating the same tax revenue as the current four-million-word-plus tax code. Under the FairTax, every person living in the United States pays a sales tax on purchases of new goods and services, excluding necessities due to the prebate.

=================================

Fair Tax makes it impossible to cheat on taxes, and no IRS needed as it is immediately applied on every purchase. Save a lot of money and headache in the process.

Fair Tax is way better than Flat Tax, since there are no need to keep track of anything as it is applied every time you buy something. No more tax filings, No more paperwork, no more having to pay more or get a refund on last years taxes, since all that is eliminated by Fair Tax.

The rest you say is old worn out baloney.

Nope. A "flat tax" is an income tax.

The Fair Tax is a sales tax. A tax which everyone pays. Drug dealers, hookers, tourists, you, me, your neighbors, everyone.
