I hope that you are finally reading about the fair tax.

Because, I hope you are not one of those bloggers that make statements and won’t back them up or admit when they are wrong.

You aren’t MAKING every small businessperson into a tax collector…they already are!!

Each month, every small business that has retail sales must collect, report and remit state, county (and possibly other sales taxes) to the state government.

The FT will only be one additional line on the monthly report.

Also, FYI…the business will also get to keep a very small portion of the taxes as payment for collecting them.

Next question??

You article about the FairTax legislation is wrong.

Just to give you one example of how much you DON’T know abou the FT. It is a monthly prebate and not yearly.

You simply don’t understand how the FT works, have you even read the book? Have you looked at the actual legislation? Have you been to the website and read about it?

Don’t slap something until you understand it!
