Why don't you actually mind your own business and stay out of our affairs. Just because you are a U.S. citizen wannabe does not entitle you to our business. |

General Jim. This may come as a surprise but the topic is about Germany and it is not one of our 50 states (I suspect that your students would also not have known this.) Are you getting your crack senior "scooter troopers" involved in a 2 front war? First you take Canada and then Europe? War is serious, and unlike an early bird all you can eat special, you shouldn't bite off more than you can chew. |

I have looked into it Chris. The rebate is for the really poor people. Middle income folks will pay more tax under the fair tax plan. It stands to reason, that if the rich pay less, the less rich will pay more. Unless you're the federal reserve, you can't just create that money out of thin air. |

See "The FairTax is regressive and shifts the tax burden onto lower and middle income people". Thought you'd looked into it. |

You quote the Fair Tax website as if they have a clue what they're talking about. Since we have never had an "un-fair tax" like you propose, how can they make all those supposedly concrete statements about what the results would be? I've looked into this subject from both sides and I think that the "fair tax" is wishful thinking for those who think that they should pay less and the rest of us should pay more. Instead of just accepting the word of the proponents of the fair tax, look at what the treasury has to say about it. I suspect they have a better handle on the outcome of instituting that kind of system. |

The Fox mantra? No, Brew asked me (ME) a question and I answered it, from my point of view. And, I guess you left out the Left's mantra, to be fair as Obama wants you to be, "TAX THE RICH MORE," THAT'S THE ANSWER TO PROSPERITY." No sharing the load for the left apparently. Have you ever heard of the old, outmoded policy of making a kid earn the money for what he wants to buy so that he will have a better appreciation of it and take better care of it, place more value in it? The harder that kid has to work for something, the more he has to sweat, the more appreciation he has for what he worked for. That policy died with FDR and LBJ and Obama is making sure it stays that way. CONTRIBUTE SOMETHING! then maybe you'll have some appreciation for it instead of taking it for granted.

More crap from Ban. Protect the rich at all cost. Even if it means you will pay more. "No sharing the load for the left." Are you suggesting that those of us on the left don't "share the load"? |

""TAX THE RICH MORE," THAT'S THE ANSWER TO PROSPERITY." Yes, that is the road to prosperity. It leaves more money in the hands of those who will spend it on things other than mansions, yachts, Rolls Royces, etc. The wealthy don't produce much except profits from things like hedge funds, which puts everyone else, who invests in markets, at risk. |

More crap! Great answer. I'm suggesting that the left teaches it's own very bad policies. The "you don't have to work to eat, or have a place to live. And you don't have to contribute. But that's a pat answer for a progressive. CRAP Spread the responsibility. Give something! Do something! Rise up! Work your God given talents..... or give what you have to those who do something so it can multiply. Obama like to quote Jesus. Well, havel you ever heard his parable of the three servants and the "Talents?" Obama like to pluck his "out of context" scripture. Edited by Banandangees, Feb 20 2012, 09:29 PM.

Fairness is for other people to do all the work, make all the contributions, take all the chances. Now that's the definition of greed. |
