>It is hard to imagine an economy that is better off because we are paying more taxes instead of soley focusing on increasing the GNP. We pay too many taxes already and our government is already too big. If government was smaller and more dollars were kept by the individual, many argue that the economy would improve along with the GNP...myself, I am all for the fairtax idea...

I'm not arguing that paying more taxes is good. In fact I feel like I am being robbed everyday. My argument was about the difference between money staying in the country or not.
