That's my point! It is concrete. Much more so than the everlasting fair tax threads on Free Republic (G-d bless them all). The bill is something we can all write to congress about. We had a book (that's nice) now we have a bill. It is a building block. Ranting and raving like I do on these threads is one thing, moving something through congress is another. C'mon guys.
remember to call my senator bump!
I'm sorry but my input to my congressman, a co-sponsor of the Fairtax bill and a member of the ways and means committee, will be that we don't have any need for more commissions to study this issue. We simply need to move the fairtax bill forward!
You mean Johnny's pretend bill, or HR 25 that already has about 50 folks signed on in the House?
Ranting and raving like I do on these threads is one thing, moving something through congress is another.
Like movinG HR 25 thru? Why do you suppose that moving Johnny's bill is as good as continuing movement of HR 25?
Doesn't HR 25 accomplish everything that Johnny's bill would and more? Why do you think he'd propose less than HR 25?
We had a book (that's nice) now we have a bill.
They already have one bill. Now they have two. Or did you forget about HR25 and S25 that they already have.
We have have a lot of support for HR25 and S25. We have little support for this new bill.
Think about it. Of the general population what percentage don't want major tax reform -- real tax reform, not tax reform-lite?
We already have the general population on our side. What percentage of congress members have joined our side? What percentage have not joined our side? We hold the high-hand.
Yet the large majority of congress is not yet on our side. For them, they have this new bill and it's a bluff. Why do you suppose they haven't come to our side and instead they introduce a different bill that includes a commission and wide area for compromise. Compromise our high-hand, not their weaker hand.
I am not ready to jump on their weaker hand and support it. I may, as events unfold finagle a means to use them and their new bill to our FairTax advantage. At this juncture holding pat is best.
