Bravo, good points and great comebacks to you both. I was clueless to this fairtax, but have been educated by your differences. I will definitely read more about this.
I have nothing against both of your views on this.
In case you're interested in knowing how your arguments stand:
1. Unpossible's vomiting on goverment "give-me give-me's" is too strong. There is nothing wrong with handouts since we all pay tax. Gov doesn't give handouts for nothing. The sooner we get back on our feet the sooner we'll be able to contribute back to the gov.
2. Unpossible also convenienced me that perhaps this new tax is fair and deserve a closer look. I'm beginning to like it already. Yes looks like I'll be getting more "spendable" dollars. Yippee!
3. While reading these threads, Qzukk's vision was more favorable since he sounded as if he was voicing his idea for me and trying to educate those who quickly jump into this new tax just b/c we're tired of the old one.
4. Americans spend too much money; living on paycheck to paychecks. This fairtax will encourage more Americans to save. This may be good. However, the more we save, the less we spend. The less we spend the worst the economy gets. US Economy thrives and flourishes depend on the how much we spend. This may be bad.
5. I make an average living, earning an average IT income in NYC. Since I'm a saver and not a big spender, this fair tax will definitely help me retain more of my income. Qzukk has a good and valid point. We don't spend all our income. I will save alot more money than the old tax, but those filthy rich folks will save even more money than me. I'm jealous. =) According to the fairtax sample, if everyone saves more money, how will the gov generate enough revenue to support all these gov programs, the military, etc?
Anyway, my thanks to the both of you.
