The Only time a tax can not be passed on to the consumer.

The only time the cost of a tax can not be passed on, is when the cost of the tax along with the other costs of production, prices a product out of competition with imports.



Our present system of taxing cascades at each step of production, burdening domestic products with more cost that imports don't have to contend with. The United Sates is currently the only one of the 30 OECD member…

Fairness in the fairtax

Among the many ways the fairtax beings fairness to taxation is it introduces fair trade to free trade. Currently over 98% of everything that is imported into this country comes from a country that has a border adjustment in their tax code.



China reimburses their exporters up to 17% of the cost of their products to remove the cost of their VAT from their exports while charging the same 17% to imports. Mexico does the same with a 16% VAT, Canada with a 13% goods and service tax,…

I know support for the fairtax is not dead

What is this business about the fairtax collecting taxes from Government consumption.

An important thing to remember is that the fairtax replaces the income tax.



In order to understand why the fairtax taxes government consumption, we need to first understand how government collects taxes from government's spending under present income taxes. To simplify the discussion, imagine a group of people on an island. Every year, each chips in 22% of his income to pay for things important to the group.

One year the…

One of the major reasons for tax reform is to simply the tax code and lessen the regulatory expenses it imposes to a more productive economy.



(cost of tax preparation)/(taxes revenues collected) = (efficiency of tax collecting). $350 billion to prepare taxes / $2,528 billion in “2008 federal receipts” = 13.845% inefficient



The fairtax has a low cost of collection. At about 90% less costly the Fairtax would only be about 1.4% inefficient leaving more money in the economy to… Continue

Free Markets auto correct

Government ineptness in tax policy and the effects on production while complicit doesn't excuse GM for it failing. GM's failing is a result of not just taxes punishing production that chase jobs out of America, but a chain of choices and compromises with an equally complicit union.



Unions can not vote them self's more value for work performed. Only a free market can ultimately determine wage, artificial constructs forced on a companies create inefficiencies in the market. Eventually… Continue

States with no income tax are doing better then states with no sales tax.

States with no income… Continue

Why the fairtax?

One day some guys sat around and thought about the problems with our present taxes, wondering if there were a better way to fund the federal government with out the problems the current tax system has. Years latter, and $22 million spent researching, and developing a tax system that would work, came the FairTax. The only agenda that the FairTax has, is to get rid America of the problems generated from our present system of taxing.



We FairTax supporters have been persuaded though… Continue

Post fairtax and prices

Maybe it is hard for some to believe business will lower their price. Maybe they never ran a business.



My prices will be adjusted starting January 1st the year the fairtax goes into effect; to reflect my new cost with out production taxes, and lowered compliance cost. I will also aggressively place ads in order to capture my competitors clients. Switching to the fairtax is an opportunity to increase my market share by offering lower priced items then my competitors that are slower to… Continue

Income tax and colateral damage.

The income tax when used as a weapon in class warfare, levies terrible collateral damage to the whole of America.
