Mind if I ask why you find this unhelpful?

BABMAY11 only marked helpful talking point in opposition to the fairtax or marked unhelpful talking points supporting the fairtax.
The truth of the talking point (that were almost 1/2 way to ware we need to bring it out of the ways and means committee) didn’t matter.

The FairTax issue doesn’t appear poised to go away anytime soon.

Many great talking points have been buried inside comments in discussion threads, but a brief explanation of what we are trying to achieve is a good thing.

The title of this agenda suggest, “Replace the Income tax with the Fairtax” is self explanatory. But it doesn’t stop there. We would like to replace Capitol Gains, Corporate Income, Payroll, and Personal Income taxes, with a very simple National Sales Tax to fund the federal government with the benefits of encouraging the brand “Made in America” for more jobs, and American security, while removing the horrendous burden of trying to comply with 70,000+ pages of complicated tax code

We also would like to effectively unburden all Americans from paying taxes at a poverty level of spending. As it is now, the poor are especially burdened with regressive employee payroll taxes and the embedded cost of (capitol gains, corporate and employer paid payroll taxes not to mention the additional cost of tax lawyers and accountants to comply with the present overly complex tax code) in the products they purchase.
