As to the OP's point about the Fair Tax, it will never pass. Tax laws are used by government to steer behavior. Want people to own homes? Tax deduction. Want them to stop smoking? Raise the taxes on cigarettes. It is not in the nature of government to give away their own power.
As to the subsequent discussion of tax rates, I have never been hired by a poor person. America is a capitalistic country. It's been in all the papers and is quite well known. Norway is a Socialist country. You have the choice of where to live, there are flights to Norway daily. I like America. No, actually I LOVE America. Nowhere else in the world do you get the freedom and opportunity to be all that you can be. The fact that many squander this incredible opportunity is no reason to change the system, it should be a reason to change THEMSELVES.
