Government was never granted the power to lay a direct tax upon the inhabitants of the States. I don't know why this FairTax couldn't be an excise tax like the federal income tax is now. The tax could be imposed on business, with the amount of the sales being the measurement for the amount of the tax owed. Little wonder this legislation isn't getting anywhere. It's WAY too complicated.
A truly fair tax is ..... the Fairtax. A simple sales tax collected at the final point of sale. No IRS for you. Instead it piggybacks on the existing infrastructure of the states who already collect a sales tax.
