Remember what happened when they tried to slide amnesty by last Summer for illegal aliens?

Right now, it’s too hard with Bush in the White House and a narrowly divided Senate, it would be way to difficult to impose a point of sale consumption tax in addition to the income tax.

BUT, if the conservatives and the republicans can get their point of sale consumption Fair Tax in place, the heavy lifting is done for the liberals. We will have built their Trojan horse for them.

I am beginning to believe that there is no room for discussion with these Fair Tax people. All I get is the standard quotes out of “the book” which has been repeatedly shown to have loopholes and blind spots.

Then why aren't liberals feasting on the idea of the FairTax? Why is it mostly conservatives? And why didn't the legislative and executive branches put your goblins in place before the 1994 Republican sweep?
