"A skeptical look at the FairTax"
(Is it all its cracked up to be? Is it better or worse than the current tax structure?)
The FairTax plan is a comprehensive proposal that replaces all federal income and payroll-based taxes with an integrated approach including:
* A progressive national retail sales tax,
* A prebate to ensure no American pays federal taxes on spending up to the
poverty level,
* Dollar-for-dollar federal revenue neutrality, and
* Repeal of the 16th Amendment through companion legislation.
