The Fair Tax is a supposed alternative to the income tax. But the name does not matter, since a tax is still a tax.

Janet Yellen admits she underestimated inflation, but she still does not realize that inflation is not higher prices, but the increase in fiat money that forces up prices.

Since the state is incorrigible and incapable of being reformed, perhaps the best way to deal with government predations is to boycott the elections.
