Subject: No hidden or combination taxes

Comment: I support the Fair Tax HR25/S25 because it is the only option that is both fair AND transparent.
VAT taxes are hidden from the consumer. Too easy for government to insidiously raise them.
A combination of consumption tax and income tax would be a disaster. That invites government to add a whole new avenue of taxation without eliminating the old, thus increasing the burden.

The Fair Tax makes sure the poor pay no taxes and the wealthy pay the most. It is very progressive (even more so than the current income tax since the poor are now paying payroll taxes as well as hidden corporate taxes in the price of products they buy).
The 16th ammendment must be recinded.
Thanks.
