   So, the anti-tax GOP are advancing a 30 percent sales tax now on everything we buy. They're calling it the Fair Tax proposal, but there's nothing "fair" about it.

   And how exactly is it anti-inflationary to add 30 percent onto the price of everything?

     @georgetakei Of course they like the more regressive tax. When the wealthy end up saving much of their money and the poor have to spend the majority of their money on necessities it is clear that the so called "fair tax" is unfair and unjust. Using a tax to Attack the poor, sick, elderly and most vulnerable is vile. They should be ashamed.
