There is only one fair tax. That is where I pay no taxes and everyone else ponies up to fund the government. Once you start taxing me tthen we're in a negotiation phase.
All seriousness aside, there never has been, nor can there ever be, a fair tax so long as we have people with varying levels of income, personal spending habits, families, etc., etc., ad nauseam.
Fair tax is just different, that's all.
A fairer current system would be to stop paying welfare to all the home-owners. Why the hell should the Federal and state governments subsidize the housing units of every person who pays interest above the standard deduction level? Yes. It's welfare!
So if you don't want to be part of the welfare state stop deducting your mortgage interest. That usually goes over pretty badly when I bring it up.
