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.
Okay. But I really don't see the bad side of legislation who's first priority is a date to abolish the IRS and second priority is to force congress to re-authorize the IRS.
