Subject: Fairtax Plan

Comment: I like the Fairtax plan because:
1. It saves me money and concern on tax compliance. Of all the advantages this is an undisputed feature of the Fairtax plan and one that is extremely important to me.
2. I like the fact that it is very simple
3. I like the fact that it is completely across the board fair; every one gets treated equally and yet ingeniously helps the people below the poverty line even while giving me the exact same credit.
4. It is wonderful for building businesses given that any amount of money I get is easily reinvested in my business without being concerned about taxes and without having the money taxed a dozen ways before I get a chance to invest it.
5. I do not want the tax law interferance with my business decisions; I want to make decisions based solely on the business needs without tax considerations. I consider this part of freedom and liberty not to have the government interfernace in my business.
6. Even though I believe all laws and tax systems can be circumvented I think the fairtax has an excellent chance of collecting taxes from several groups of people who pay little or no taxes under the current system.
7. The United States needs to benefit from a tax system like the Fairtax on the world stage of business. It would make the playing field more level.
8. The Fairtax encourages saving and investment.
