Fair Tax gets 86% of vote in Georgia! Results will be sent to President Bush.
Nealz Nuze ^ | July 19, 2006 | Neal Boortz

Posted on 07/19/2006 7:26:18 AM PDT by Arcy

The FairTax was on the primary ballots in three Georgia counties yesterday. I have the results of the voting! Here you go.

Gwinnett County:

Total Votes: 35,755 Yes - 31,068. 86.9% No - 4,687 13.1%

Cobb County:

Total votes: 39,458 Yes - 33,598. 85.15% No - 5,860. 14.85%

Fayette County:

Total votes: 11,517 Yes - 9,828. 85.33% No - 1,689. 14.67%

According to Boortz the results of this vote will be personally handed to President Bush today via a Washington insider. The purpose of which is to convey the FACT that there is great support for this solution to current tax system and that this is a plan that can get the voters to the polls. Many of which called and e-mailed Boortz to say that they had no plans of voting yesterday until they learned that the Fair Tax was on the ballot.

How about joining with us to pass the FairTax into law instead of just being pessimistic.
------
Been hardly just pessimistic. I have sent more emails to Washington, my state reps, and our totally useless socialist state government (Calif), than Clinton has lies. I am not sure what else the average citizen can do. If I had one ounce of confidence in our Congress, I would hammer them, but they are the rotten spot.

Any suggestions???

It is your lot in life to inflame people who do not agree with you, isn't it?

No, diagreement is one place learning takes place. It is disagreement that fosters discussion.

Namecalling and disrupting is what you do. You don't disagree - you just namecall

If you can disagree and discuss civilly, you will find many willing and pleasant participants.

But that is not your lot. You neither know enough about the nrst or the flat income tax to discuss either. You're just fun to post toward to see the child respond.

These "non-binding" (duh) resolutions on primary ballots are worthless.

I agree. I'd like to ask those folks why it's on there to see their response.

That's not out of context at all, but quite in context, Most people (except you) realize any income-based tax is doomed - and that there are NOT "no inherent flaws".

Care to show everybody exactly where and when I called you anything?

The only "pleasant responses" in these threads are reserved for the "rah rah" cheerleaders of FT.

They don't tell you a damned thing.

They tell you what every poll I have ever seen tells you, that the people are in favor of the fair tax. I know, I know, in your world the people are stupid and need to be led around like sheep.

No only is it not "doomed", but it is never going away as long as there are those cheering for a completely unworkable "replacement".

Who said you called me anything? Strawman argument. Again. Tired, tired, liberal tactic.

In fact you need to get your information straight. At one point not long ago there were something like 200,000 people joining the FairTax organization. There are now over 700,000.

The number of sponsors and cosponsors in the House alone is now up to 56 - that's the most that have ever signed on to ANY tax reform bill in our history.

But just keep whistling past the graveyard ...

BTW, what aspect of the "flat tax" is better than the nrst? Just pick one - if you're willing to discuss civilly.

"if you tell a lie often enough... it becomes the truth"

You mean, sort of like saying "the income tax has no inherent flaws"??? That'll make it be true???

REALLY!!!

It doesn't double tax current after tax savings.

I'm curious, how do you "join" the FairTax organization? Have you joined? How did you do it?

It's merely one more piece of evidence for him and as he and other members of congress begin to realize that there is truly a large grassroots movement behind the FairTax they'll do more that just brush it off - they'll get behind it since pols don't like to be on the losing side.

Whatever. I'm not "fooled" by anything here, but it's an indicator, and as I said, an interesting poll. If all it does is stir the water towards ultimate tax reform, I'm for it...or are you one of those "Bush is a socialist and his tax cuts mean nothing" types?
