He is. He doesn't like any reform - they would eliminate a special trading tax incentive for his real estate company.
He won't listen past the part about eliminating it.... even though his entire situation would be better. There's something else at work here.
Johnny lied. He promised to support it during a tough campaign in which is opponent strongly supported hr 25. So he promised to support it too. But he won't. I don't trust him as far as I can throw him - and I'm crippled!
Johnny lied. I'll never vote for him.
This legislation is not needed with the Fair Tax already before both chambers. We especially don't need another committee that will only burn more taxpayers dollars. I sent an email to Congressman Linder asking him to discuss the Fair Tax with Senator Isakson since they are both from Georgia. It may not help but it certainly can't hurt. Feel free to do the same if your so inclined.
He's probably angling for votes (and then he can drop what he thinks is nonsense). We've had "sunset the tax code" bills before and none have worked.
If this on should do so I'm all for it; however I'm quite skeptical and I think Principled's reasoning may be on track. (darn it)
