No poster on this board has a more focused agenda than pigdog.Maybe his "agenda" is the problem.
It is rare to see the more rabid fairtax proponents post on other issues. I am all over the forum posting on all kinds of issues. It just tells me many of the proponents may not be as conservative as they lead on. More so than any other group on this forum, most of the proponents are solely one-issue. Especially the ones with the cult-like mentality.
But I admit I have one - supporting the FairTax as a wonderful tax system that is badly needed while you Squirrels invariably to pretent to be supremely knowledgeable and innately know the FairTax is "bad" and its supporters also - even you have to make up some "misdirected" info to claim this.
In short, openly supporting something like the FairTax instead of pretending you know of something better(without ever really espousing what it is in any detail so it may be examined) is, I believe most people would think, the more honest of the two approaches.
