I honestly don't think Feinstein or Boxer was elected by the middle class. I think the hardworking Californians have been sold down the river by the guilt-ridden liberalism of the successful Hollywood/Artist/Tech set. Fully supported by public employee unions that spend their days serving not the California taxpayer, but illegal aliens.
Sometimes I think Feinstein and Boxer see 'constituents' in welfare-state recipients and 'enemies' in taxpayers. I see the opposite.
The FairTax should not be a partisan issue, but I definitely get more negative reactions from Democrats here than I do Republicans. Dims seem to like the present tax system just fine.
The reason you get that reaction (partrly at least) is that both of those Demoqueens put out the word in their letters and townhall meetings that FairTax=BAD and aimed at us poor welfare folk and will cause a deeeepression, etc!!! You know the drill - you read it on these threads from the Squirrel contingent often enough.
Neiher of my Congressmen are "for" the FairTax (yet) either but I have sent and will continue to send them "love letters" to remind them I INSIST they support the FairTax and that I expect to see their names as cosponsors ... otherwise I will not support THEM in and way - in fact quite the opposite.
