My wife and I are both teachers. We saved sales receipts and determined that a 23% national sales tax would amount to a savings of $700 per month in taxes. While we would invest a portion of our savings in stocks, we would also be much more likely to buy a new car and make other big ticket purchases. We also like the notion of FAIRTAX as a reliable Social Security reform. John Steinberger 140 Droos Way Charleston, SC 843-763-0338 29414
