You really must wear industrial-strength XXXL blinders. You want to get the FairTax passed so bad, you want to skip right past the honest debate steps and get right to the congratulary backslaps and attaboys.
It doesn't work that way. The fact that you continue to name-call and heap verbal sewage on anyone who dares to question any aspect of your plan, even when such flaws are obvious and bleeding from the neck, shows that you don't want to discuss this civilly. You just want to ram it down our throats. And you think we are squirming?
And thanks to both you and pigdog for providing such a good consistent example of what a FairTax kool-aid drinker behaves like thread after thread after thread. There are others but none with quite the staying power, but others are close. You are the definition of a "True Believer".
As I said, I am quite content to let the readers of this thread determine for themselves just who is doing the squirming here.
Thank you! I consider that to be a compliment regardless of how you intended it.
There are are a couple of things you, and anyone else interested, need to know about me. They are:
1. I consider the communist inspired progressive income tax to be the greatest evil ever perpetrated on the American people and fully intend to see it where it so properly belongs - on the ash heap of history!
2. The Fairtax bill currently before congress, warts and all, represents the best opportunity for doing that to come along in my lifetime and I WILL do whatever I can to see it become the law of the land regardless of who's toes I happen to step on in the process.
