Of course, those people always like the most regressive taxes as they

If we want a "fair" tax, regressive taxes are the way to go. Poor people use
more services. It's only fair.


All of the Fair Tax proposals have credits (mostly paid monthly,
sorta like a refund check) given for spending up to the poverty line, or
possibly above, to address these concerns. Now how well they address it
open to discussion, ; demogogary. and all the general ups and down of
political "discourse".



But the mother is responsible, so what to do? She could contribute a kidney.
At a price of $65,000 she could pay the taxes for her entire brood for five
years. After five years, she could donate a cornea. Same deal. After another
five years, her offspring would be entering the breeding market and the
process could start anew.
