Rush is luke-warm on Fair Tax.. He says he'd rather have Flat Tax.
Both are pipedreams unfortunantly.
The SINGLE biggest impediment to changing anything for the better is people who have accepted defeat before the fight even starts.
Rush has requested and been forwarded a final draft copy of Boortz and Linder's book "The Fair Tax". The book is already #3 at Barnes and Noble and it doesn't go on sale until August. Linder says his fellow congressmen are calling him saying they are getting called by contsituents who want them to look at the Fair Tax.
He touched on this yesterday. He leans towards flat tax, but says either would be great. He then went to make the (accurate) point that it is a pipedream because Congress would never pass a law like the above ideas that takes away most of their single greatest power-taxation.
