Fair tax vs. Flat Tax...

I'm getting ready to read the Fair tax by Neil Bortz. I've never been a proponent of it, believing that once you eliminate the income tax, it would be all too easy (to quote my favorite dark lord of the sith) to reinstate it a little at a time (anyone remember a certain Senator's proposal for a tiny 1% tax on the richest 1%)....bingo, now we have a double tax system.

Always been a fan of Forbes' flat tax, postcard form system. I'm finally able to be intellectually open enough to consider alternatives.

My father-in-law is sending me the book. He's a convert...maybe I will be too. Once I'm done, I'll post a review with my thoughts.
