The Great thing with the Fair tax is that everyone would pay the same rate. Then the "goverment" would have to operate just like you and I. On a budget. Plus the Goverment hand out programs wont go away. Also there are other countries that exsit with the fair tax program. There currency is a lot stronger that ours. And that has a large effect on what we're paying at the pump! Watch for when our dollar value goes up. The price of gas will come down.
