    maybe a good first step ... (none / 0) (#1)

    I was getting ready to say the Fed is a completely separate topic, but then you cleared that up.  Monetary policy is a major issue for me (econ geek), and it's vital that every taxpayer start taking it more seriously ... but it's still an entirely different topic.

    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.

    "We the people" need to put our Overlords in both Lansing and Washington, into submission.  Until politicians are legitimatley bound "by the chains of the Constitution," the taxation scheme matters not.
