Think of how pissed the progressive tax proponents would be. :-)
Everything goes to sales tax, so there's no more wealth redistribution from middle class to lower/upper.

Yeah, I like the idea of the "Fair tax" in theory. In reality it wouldn't wipe out ALL the other taxes as intended and the other taxes would slowly creep back into existent. In the end all we would accomplish is raising a federal sales tax on every plus all the other bullshit.

Why not? Its all relative. The pains of that $50 could be equal to the pains of the $500k.
Would be an insane redo.
