Under the FairTax
- * * wholesale = $50
- * * compliance costs = - $23
- * * FairTax = $23
- * * sales and other taxes = $27
- * * Grand total = $100

You are obviously a Democrat.

Then Herman Cain must be too because he supports the
FairTax.

I refer to your math.

wholesale = $50
compliance costs = - $23
FairTax = $23
sales and other taxes = $27

Unless they changed the rules of math by Congressionl
decree that's $1
23.

You can refer to my math, in return I will refer to your
reading comprehension. *Was there something about "- $23"
(read minus $23) that you didn't get? *I guess the example
wasn't simple enough for you.

Yep, and HOW exactly do you assume that compliance with
sales and other taxes will suddenly be reduced to zero, when
they will still need to comp
ly
and that it will cost absolutely NOTHING to comply with the
additional FairTax imposed?

You need to understand what compliance costs actually are.
*The
y
are the costs associated with complying with the federal
income tax on wages, regressive payroll taxes , the federal
income tax on wages, i.e. measuring, tracking, sheltering,
documenting, and filing our annual income.. *If those taxes
are gone then just what exactly is there left to comply with
and how does that cost any money?

There are also state compliance costs associated with state
income taxes for employees, inventory taxes, license renewals,
etc.. *Fair tax does nothing about them. *In addition you also
have s
ome
compliance taxes fo
r
the operation of the Fair Tax....someone has to pay it.

Because that has to do with state taxes. *The FairTax is about
federa
l
taxation.

The point is that those costs are still there. *They were somewhat
amortized when combined with federal taxation but even if that
goes away, the mechanisms of collecting those taxes don't.

The costs of production are there. *The costs of compliance are no
longer there.

They are for state and local reasons. *The only thing that went away
wa
s
the federal requirement. *Some of those are also state costs and they
have to remain in place along with the compliance costs that they
incur.
*
That hasn't changed.


And once again, the fairtax replaces embedded costs of complying with
FEDERAL tax laws.

I know that....however the mechanism for complying with those federal
laws is also used in some cases for state laws. Since those are not
addressed by the Fair Tax, they need to remain in place. When that
occurs, that cost cannot be removed.
