I just wanted to let you guys know about an experience I had last week with one of our esteemed legislators. As my past posts will affirm, I am a big fan of the NRST so don't shoot the messenger.
Chuck Hagel came to tour the facility that I work at and was nice enough to spend a little time with us voters. He took only two questions and mine was one of them. I asked him what his views were on the NRST as a form of tax reform. He looked at me like I was a total ass. He then asked "Has that even been introduced yet?" I told him that I believed it had been, gave him the bill number and stated that it was still in committee. He said "Well that's probably as far as it is gonna get" and then started talking about Social Security and yada yada. The tone he used when he responded to me seemed like I asked him about a bill to legalize molesting children.
Take this for what you will. It sure didnt seem like this was anything he was interested in, though. It sure made me question why I voted twice for the guy.
Perhaps he should be made aware of the popular support for fundamental tax reform...
