Augusta Chronicle forwarded false claim that taxpayers would get "their entire paycheck" under "Fair Tax"

SUMMARY: An Augusta Chronicle editorial supporting the "Fair Tax," a proposal that "replaces all federal income and payroll based taxes" with a national sales tax, falsely stated that under the "Fair Tax" people will "get their entire paycheck." In fact, Georgia residents would still have to pay the Georgia income tax, which is withheld from their paychecks.
