Well, reading that, it just ticks me off that it's revenue neutral, and the taxation of doctor's visits is a bit asinine. Which, I suppose it would make sense that it would have to be revenue neutral; that was kind of absurd to think it would magically be able to decrease the tax burden, which was my biggest reason for supporting it. I don't agree with this, though:

It is possible that the FairTax would make most people better off, but much of that gain would be a direct result of making the tax code less fair. - by Joe Miller

Much as I hate how much taxes I have to pay, reducing the tax burden on the rich would actually be more fair, all things considered. I'm not anyone to say that they deserve to be taxed more, even if it does help me. - Unless he's referring the poor getting all those tax benefits...

Really, we just need the government to stop spending on retarded social programs. Which is never going to happen because people are too ready to play the victim with their hands out.

I found the 30 cent gas tax hike interesting, though: looks like we're doomed to that no matter who gets into office, considering McCain, Clinton, and Obama all three want it.

The next four years are gonna suck!

OH!

Why is it done like that?

Don't know; that's just how my company does things. It's completely wrong, though. I still can't believe I lost my entire paycheck for last week!
