Where to begin...
I wanted to read some critiques of the FairTax, and this was the 3rd result while searching for FairTax.

Am I to believe that somebody who doesn't know the difference between "affect" and "effect" (on the back cover!) can understand taxes or the economy? Does he not know it's "FairTax," not "Fair-tax?" Has he heard of a run-on sentence? Just reading the first paragraph of this "book" is painful.

I have to think of conspiracy theorists and their poorly-written screeds about the Jews. In this age, the barrier to publishing, distributing, and even selling is extremely low (AuthorHouse?). It's easy to disseminate information. It's also easy for uneducated individuals to spread lies and half-truths. I'll leave it to the discerning reader to make your own judgments about this book, however, I urge you to click the cover above and read the first page. Odds are if you don't find at least 10 errors on the page, you're not intelligent enough to have educated discourse on the topic of the FairTax. Go turn on MTV.

Unclear Logic
I read "The Fair Tax Book: Saying Goodbye to the Income Tax and the IRS" book and understood it perfectly, even felt like jumping on the "bandwagon." After reading "FairTax: A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing," I felt even more strongly that the FairTax should be passed.

The FairTax/Wolf book was slinging mud, not bringing up actual figures that could convince me that the Fair Tax was a bad idea. Warwick's challenges are far flung and wide. An example is right in the first chapter where he pulls statistics which say that it costs between $300 and $600 billion to comply with the IRS code and the FairTax/Goodbye IRS book states that this is a blow to our economy, whereas Warwick's FairTax/Wolf book reply to this is "WHAT! What do you think the people who earned the $500 billion did with it? Bury it in their backyards..." This indicates a lack of understanding of the loss. This money was never earned by anyone. It was what a person could have earned had they been billing for their time-which instead they spent filling out forms for the IRS.

Examples like this are prevalent throughout the FairTax/Wolf book. I found it difficult to make it through, but continued, to see if there was in fact any "meat" in there.

If you all ready have read the FairTax/Goodbye IRS and agree with its truths, then please read this, so you will have an understanding of where our opponents are getting their muddy water from.

Book of Lies
Looking over the author's outline on "authorlink" it's apparent he hasn't read the book, "FairTax", or he just wants to lie about it. For example: he says that businesses will have to collect sales taxes at every level of production of a product! False; he's talking about a Value Added Tax (VAT) and the FairTax is not a Vat, it's a retail sales tax only. Also, the fairtax organization has hired the best academic minds in the USA to study it and they say it'a revenue neutral, which he denies. He's either a tax preparer or a lobbyist whose job will go away when the FairTax is enancted.
