If you want to discuss whether taxation is ok or not in general that is a different topic and although related detracts from the topic of this thread. An apropriate oposing argument would be the current form of taxing is better or another form all together.

With the proposed percentage of sales tax the tax burden is about the same.
Sorry about the typos. i'm posting this from my phone.

Was just responding to KA24DE-something's claim that fair tax is somehow pro-business.
ultimately with taxation & incentives you're just dealing with rewards and punishment (assuming all else equal).
I don't agree that it's pro-business to discourage in-state sales by higher taxes.
good luck especially with stimulating auto & real estate sales.
not like you can buy that out of state.
Our current system does a fairly decent & balanced job in taxation, for the most part.
Govt takes a chunk out of most things equally.
If they want to encourage some specific spending in area, they give out tax incentives and/or low rate loans.
(i'm sure i'm repeating what's already said before but that's my stance anyhow)
