I complained about getting a stimulus check, it was just expensive election year pandering. Money I didn't overpay - someone much richer than myself overpaid - and I get that persons money via the government. The equitable redistribution of wealth...
What fears of abuse do you have for the fair tax? What do think the worst case scenario would be and how likely...?

Sounds like an argument for why we should not return to the gold standard... and a very good one at that.

I know inflation and some of its causes, what kind of events or circumstances trigger Deflation? I would like to know more about ways we could deflate the currency... It would be nice to have American dollars worth so much, other countries would be asking for us to make half-pennies. Really bring some value back to our currency.

The American dollar is a standard for many transactions on the world markets. Strengthening our dollar would strengthen our economic position in the world and give us greater leverage in trade deals, would it not?
