I'm having a hard time seeing how FairTax is fair. Yes, it sounds fair because it is a tax on consumption. But the major consumers are the lower and middle classes. The upper class has an extremely high income, most of which they will save. So the poor and average American will be paying a much larger percentage of their income in taxes, while in comparison the rich hardly pay anything. Poor and middle class people will have a much heavier burden. It seems like an upper class method of tax evasion to me.

That is my reasoning behind it. I really like you and most of your ideals, but how do you think the FairTax is indeed fair?

Thank you, and good luck in your campaign!

That makes more sense now, thank you for clearing things up. Also, the fact that you're willing to take your time to address concerns of voters directly really puts you above the rest.
