Fair Tax Act: Pt. III

     After publishing the last time I received some questions which I will now attempt to answer. An acquaintance of mine asked:

1) What would be done to speed legalization of illegal immigrants &
2) What sources can I look at to see the proposition of the tax costing nothing to maintain.

     First, the primary objective of the FTA is not to legalize immigrants or even attempt immigration reform. It’s main focus is a tax reform and therefore will not change current immigration policies if enacted. The fact that immigrants will not be able to avoid contributing to society is simply a bonus, icing on the cake if you will. 

     Second, I apreciate being held accountable for what I say and write. In FTA Pt. II I stated, incorrectly, that it would cost nothing to maintain. In actuallity it would (of course) have expenses. Unlike the current tax system, the FT would not require more money each year. As a result, state budgets would end up not only breaking even but would save money each consecutive year. 45314full
