Re: \"Fair Tax\"-a better alternative than \"Flat Tax\"
[ QUOTE ]
What is the general opposition to the Fair Tax comprised of? I haven't done much reading of the Fair Tax, but what I did read, I liked. But the elephant in the room seems to be if this is such a superior system, why the difficulty in enacting it?

Liberals who feel it's regressive, ie the poor spend a higher percentage of their money on comsumables than the rich do. So the poor pays a higher percentage of their income than the rich. I don't know much about the fair tax but I'm sure proponents of it dissagree that it's regressive.
