Take a crap, pay a tax...
Reliable, eh???

My name is Mark Curran, and I offer 50,000 dollars if anyone can prove Fairtax is not a hustle, a fraud, a goofy deception. It sounds great, it fooled me at first, but it does not fool me any longer.

And I am serious about this 50,000 dollar offer. It's legally binding. Specifically, all you have to do to collect this 50K is prove Fairtax is a simple personal retail sales tax. That's all. You don't have to prove it works. You don't have to prove it's rational (its not).

Just prove it's factually a 23% personal retail sales tax to replace all, or even most, federal revenue. That's what they hope people believe it is, because thats, their hustle.

But most of Fairtax has nothing to do with personal retail sales. That's right, most of Fairtax is about OTHER taxes -- taxes on all city county and states, for example. That's not personal retail at all

For example did you know that every city in Minnesota would have to pay "wage and pension" expenditure tax to the fed government, under Fairtax?

I don't know you city's wage and pension expenditure, but assuming Minneapolis has 20 million in wage and pension expenditures, that city would have to pay almost 5 million TAX to the fed government, per Fairtax.

This is not in dispute, by the way. It's in their fine print. And President Bush Tax Advisory Panel exposed these fine print tricks in 2005. Furthermore, Neal Boortz and David Kendall, both official spokesmen for Fairtax, admit it, and defend it. The refuse to confirm the AMOUNTS, but they act as if this was widely known aspect of Fairtax. Nonsense.

That is just the start of the amazing things Fairtax taxes, in the fine print. BUt they dont tell us about in the books videos and speeches. Yet according to sworn testimony to House Ways and Means Committee in June of 2011, a stunning 3/4 of Fairtax revenue comes from these "other" taxes -- other than personal retail sales.

Fairtax tells us that it's a "simple personal retail sales tax", that's the impression, and it's an outright deception, to be nice about it, because most of Fairtax revenue has nothing, NOTHING, to do with personal retail sales.

Another thing Fairtax taxes -- all cancer surgery and chemo, no exceptions. Is that fair? What's fair about a cancer victim having to pay 23% fed tax on cancer treatments?

When Boortz was interviewed on Fox news, a reporter asked him if health care is taxed, he said :"Of course". She asked if cancer surgery was taxed, he said "of course" again. And Boortz is right -- all medical consumption is taxed, no exceptions whatsoever. The reporter was surprised, and asked if the poor are exempt, "No" said Boortz, "we don't pick winners and losers". But how can a poor person pay this tax? Boortz said not to worry "Our plan makes prices fall so much it won't be a problem".

Fairtax has a "prebate" but that is 125-200 dollars a month, it does not go up a dime just because your wife, child, or you have cancer, heart disease, whatever.

They also tax all rent, all dental costs, all RX consumption, all day care. Millions of people with high health care costs could owe more in Fairtax than they have in income. Yes, they could. A heart patient, for example, might need by pass surgery -- 158,000 dollars. Fairtax has a 23% fed tax on that -- no exceptions! JUst the tax on that surgery would be about 40,000 dollars. Forget fair, is that even rational? No, of course not.

So why does Fiartax have all these taxes --- other taxes -- that are not on retail purchases? Do they really think all cancer victims and heart patients can should and would pay ? No, but they had to make their math add up. All these slick tricks in the fine print are there for one reason only -- to make their math add up.

So when you say Fairtax is fair, you are saying it's fair to tax all cancer victims a 23% tax on their health care, which could be 40,000 dollars TAX. Fairtax has no cut off part, it's 23%, whether it's a 100 dollar office visit, or a 100,000 dollar round of chemo.

And when you say Fairtax is fair, you are saying its fair to have slick fine print tricks to tax all city county and states.

Read the fine print. READ. THE. FINE. PRINT. It's a fine print bamboozle. Sounds great though.
