He may very well be a blow hard (I don't listen to him so I don't really know), but this article is little more than trying to pass off semantics and largely unfounded criticism.

The 'Fair Tax' plan definitely has a few holes, but the basic premise of charging people for consumption instead of income is prudent and wise.

Anything that places more choice into the hands of individuals is a VAST improvement.
