A consumption tax is at least moral, while taking someone's income is not.  My concern in advocating a "new and improved" revenue stream for the State, however, is the politicians inability to "just say no" to a spending bill.  Regardless if they have the revenue or not!

Here's our problem ... even if a "fair tax" resulted in lower revenue for the State, it still retains the power to spend as much as they please!  And as always, "we the people" get the short-end of the stick.

I have no problem with the fair tax, in and of itself, but like every other proposal I hear these days, it doesn't get to the heart of the problem - a government that has extended it's powers and authorities way past what's written in either the State or federal Consitition.

POWER is our problem.
