I had no idea we were still governed by the Articles of Confederation!
Well, under the so called Fair Tax we would be governed by the same tax philosophy contained under the Articles of Confederation in which the states agreed to contribute into the common treasury based upon an assessed value of property…the same thinking under H.R. 25 which also calculates the amount of tax to be contributed by each state based upon the value of property.
But you are in error in your thinking that we are still governed by the Articles of Confederation. Our Founding Fathers changed the socialist friendly wealth based tax of the Articles of Confederation by a new rule of apportioning, and they agreed the general tax is now required to be based upon each states’ allotted number of Representatives…a new rule requiring representation with proportional obligation, something which socialists and the friends of big government dread with a passion!

I really, truly thought that my 'What a nutjob' comment was enough to show that the preceding line was sarcasm...
I did not, however, pay enough attention to note that you were the author of the article. Sorry for the nutjob comment.
