Apparently there was not quite enough wierd humor in my post to get your attention, and you missed the two paragraphs where I was supportive of at least a test of the fair tax despite the sheer stupidity of having a fair tax passed by the congress, and an established income tax in the Constitution of the Unites States of America.
The one must be gotten rid of before the other will have any validity what so ever. I also contend that there are so many unanswered questions regarding the fair tax, that there are, at the moment, far more important issues at hand.
Ok sorry if I did not pick up on that - what issues are not resolved? I disagree about "more important issues at hand".
I see no greater issue for our country than the passage of HR 25 - it touches everyone of ours lives and the lives of generations to come and not in just the tax we pay or how we pay it.
The removal of the method for legal bribery from our government cuts deep into the very future of the US and it's security.
The removal of all 501c3 will bring into balance the Green Goofy movement that feeds off this sytem.
These and many more "improvements" are at hand with the FairTax bill.
HR 25 www.Fairtax.org is full of information I would be interested in see anything you have that concerns you.
To me this is a "no brainer" and I would seriously question and judge the motives of those in government that do not support it.
