So it would seem that Twerker an lu61f3r have concluded that I am right respecting our current tax system and the superiority of the Fair Tax over that system.
That, or they realize that no further arguments against those points in my posts above can be mounted without exposing a profound bias toward big government and crony capitalism as long as it serves a leftist agenda.
I'm guessing the latter.
Well, if you really want me to respond....
I'm afraid my rl has demanded my attention over the past week or so. Believe that or not, w/e.
I'm going to say just this, then....take it or leave it:

Corruption is not necessarily linked to a progressive income tax.
Oh really? And just how would you explain the vast number of exemptions, deductions and tax breaks written into the tax code every year that benefit either big businesses and the wealthy or small businesses and the poor (depending on who rules the roost in Congress and the White House)?
Sure, corruption has been a constant component of civilization since civilization has been around - that's what laws are for. But when you design a tax code so that it can be easily manipulated toward corrupt ends, what good are those laws? And make no mistake about it; our tax code is DIRECTLY linked the corrupt crony capitalist practices of our federal government.
The federal income tax has proveably been one of the most successful means of of corrupting our free market capitalist system and I would challenge you to prove it to be otherwise.
I submit (as noted multiple times in this thread but as yet unchallenged or even addressed) that our current tax code is tailor-made to promote the corrupt practice of crony and the only way to stop this practice is to completely scrap the income tax code and replace it with the Fair Tax, which would permanently end the ability of the federal government to use the tax code to practice crony capitalism.
Further, I submit that the Fair Tax is a far superior method of taxation given the many tremendous benefits it would inure to our economy and taxpayers alike.
I would love it you'd repsond to these points. I've taken the time to answer every question you've posed, reciprocation would be a welcome change of pace.
