You spend hours here demonizing the FairTax. What is your alternative? What are you doing to get the IRS albatross off of our necks? What are you doing to rid Washington of the tax lobbyists and the reason for their existence?

What government policies brought us out of the dark ages?

Freedom. Something that started being eroded in 1865, took a big hit in 1913 and began a downward spiral in the 1930's.

We've already established where I stand on the Fairtax...How many times do you have to keep asking the same stupid questions?

If congress made changes to the FairTax, would you support it? If you would, what changes would you like to see? If not, your differrences with it are very basic. What are they?

So an idea that has the volunteer support of over half a million people, has a very large organization and has become a part of two presidential candidates' platforms has not taken hold?

Does that mean that you have wasted years of days spent on these threads trying to minimize the FT?

I know that like you know they actually studied the legislation and not the rhetoric. I know that like you and they know there would be (yet to be defined) 100% paychecks and certain price reductions

My turn, HUH?

I didn't know the Fairtax was the end all to all economic thinking...It truly is a cult if that's the case.

There is a lot you don't know. Such as: people are truly tired of you SQL's calling the FT a cult. It really is passe' to do that.

I don't demonize the Fairtax. I point out the idiocy of the Fairtax, it demonizes itself.

Did I say it was an albatross on my neck? Do I care there are lobbyists? Once again just because you can't think of a reason for lobbyists after the Fairtax you think they won't exist. If I were you I'd look in the new Excise Tax Bureau for an ideal place for lobbyists under the Fairtax. What else do you think it's for, to count money from the sale of tires and fishing gear?

Oh brother, no wonder you fall for this crap. Since when is freedom a government policy?

In other words freedom is a government policy, we're now living in the dark ages compared to 1865...and 1913 and then it got worse after 1930...Brilliant reasoning there.

That's the kind of brilliant thinking I'm supposed to get behind to support the Fairtax? What a miserable life you must lead.

Just wondering, do you have any clients (left) that listen to this stuff from you?

I don't lay awake at night wondering about what changes I would make to the Fairtax. It isn't going to happen, if there are any changes to it, it won't be "the Fairtax" anymore will it.

The fact you always have to make the argument/subject about the person rather then the Fairtax says all it needs to say about what you really know about the Fairtax.

people are truly tired of you SQL's calling the FT a cult. It really is passe' to do that.
The hypocrisy in that statement also says a lot.

"Taxes should be uncomfortable. Not especially painful, mind you -- just a bit irritating. Enough to make you pay attention. Modest discomfort is an element of citizenship, reminding voters of the price they pay for civilized society."

(thank you, Justice Holmes)
