Fair Tax

Libertarian Presidential candidate George Phillies today pointed out a deep flaw in the "Fair Tax" advocated by some Republicans, including former Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee. "The so-called 'fair' tax has two parts, namely a sales tax on almost everything, and a monthly welfare check mailed to every household. Fair tax advocates say the welfare check is a tax rebate, but you get the check even if you paid no tax."
