I see it as a vastly better way to collect taxes and it addresses each of the pillars. 1) Social Security would be funded by a hugely larger tax base including the very rich who often don't have wages (and therefore SS contributions) and the underground economy (crime, illegal aliens, and under-the-table workers) 2) Healthcare and Medicare funded with such a huge base is more likely to work for all. 3) Pensions and savings benefit from tax free earnings and profits, interest, capitol gains, etc offered by the Fairtax plan. 4) Later life earnings and jobs for seniors would benefit by the draw Fairtax offers to companies to locate in America (Corporation tax free) as well as the basic tax free treatment of those late life low wage part time jobs.

1) Social Security would be funded by a hugely larger tax base including the very rich who often don’t have wages (and therefore SS contributions) and the underground economy (crime, illegal aliens, and under-the-table workers)

2) Healthcare and Medicare funded with such a huge base is more likely to work for all.

3) Pensions and savings benefit from tax free earnings and profits, interest, capitol gains, etc offered by the Fairtax plan.

4) Later life earnings and jobs for seniors would benefit by the draw Fairtax offers to companies to locate in America (Corporation tax free) as well as the basic tax free treatment of those late life low wage part time jobs.
