"Replace the tax code so we can establish tax fairness for everybody. And no, it is not regressive on the poor like the liberals try to demagogue the idea of moving toward a fair tax which is a single rate retail consumption tax,"

When conservatives talk about the unfair tax system, they often state that the lower 47% of Americans don't pay any taxes and the rich are taxed unfairly. The only way to make it fairer in their eyes would be to lower the taxes on the rich and raise it on the poor.

Why not have everyone (yes everyone) pay 10% or 15% in federal income tax or whatever it takes to run a basic limited government, wouldn't that be fair?

The Fair Tax Bill would replace the income tax by a VAT (23%)
I think it's fair.

Taxing productivity and giving it to the lazy uneducated, that are unproductive.
Taxing personal income, places the rich against the poor and the poor against the rich. It is tactically use to separate and divide so they can conquer.
The rich have been fighting the poor forever. It is rare the poor can fight back. The FDR administrations were the last time they managed it in this country. Since then the wealthy have been trying quite successfully to impoverish everybody but themselves. After Raygun borrowed money from the rich instead of taxing them they have had a field day. We, the lowest 90%, are far less prosperous now than then.
Fair tax as proposed as a VAT or most anything else is horse pucky. The only fair tax is based on all income from all sources and, given the income distribution in this country, has a deductable of 90+%. This places the burden of operation the country on the people that benefit the most from our government and our laws. Paying for what you get is the definition of fair. Only a high deduction income tax has that function.
I would support the Federal Government entirely on income tax, excise taxes on booze and other drugs and countervailing tariffs. The Feds would only be allowed to borrow money for real wars not the colonial adventures that are making the few rich at the expense of the rest of us and the countless local killed.
There is nothing fair about it. The rich would end up paying even LESS.
Since they use less entitlement programs, that sounds fair.
