First Jeffc, I would like to thank you for keeping the FairTax in the discussion. As you are congratulating yourself on how clever you are, you need to realize that these attack items have been around for years. You are not the first to “uncover” “flaws” in the FairTax legislation. These concerns have been answered many times over. In fact, most of us that support the FairTax had some of these same concerns as we first heard of the plan. We studied in more detail about the structure of the overall concept and realize that, although it is not perfect, it is an extremely well designed and sound replacement for the current income tax system.

I noted with interest the letter to the editor from Mr. Ed Outlaw with his concerns for the Fair Tax plan. I have promoted the Fair Tax for several years now, and I have rarely come across anyone that was such a proponent of the present tax system. The Income Tax is out of control, inefficient, and penalizes U.S. business and manufacturing competing within an escalating global economy. The Fair Tax is a simple alternative method to fund the Federal Government that is fair, simple, and visible. As a by-product, it just happens to solve some very serious economic problems that are caused by the present Income Tax.
