Did you ever notice that all of the rent-to-own stores like to set up shop next to military bases?  When I was active duty our next door neighbors did the rent-to-own thing on a washer and dryer pair.  They ended up spending just over $2K for a set that may have retailed for $700.I like the Fair Tax.  Like Tooner, I am not a huge consumer of goods, so this would benefit me on a personal level.  I would take the $400 or so that I currently pay in taxes and put it all in to my 401k.  I like the idea of the prebate.  Unfortunately, we have been talking about the Fair Tax since 1999 and it is no closer to becoming reality.</blockquote>
