Perspective. The GOP House "Fair Tax" bill is a consumption tax. Another massive tax break for the rich. It's common sense and basic math. Who buys more, 10 million people in the lower 80%, or 10 billionaires? It's like the ploy to replace income tax with a national sales tax (which would require over 30% tax...a massive benefit for rich, but cost more than income tax for non rich). Both parties wrote our tax laws favoring the rich, how can anyone believe a party isn't trying to do it again?
