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.

FT is a product of the AFFT which is headed by a mega-rich, mega-architect/builder in Texas who has declared jihad on the IRS.

So tell me, what in the world is wrong with THAT? Give me one reason, it doesn't even have to be a good reason, why we shouldn't all declare jihad on the IRS. Those that enjoy being pilfered at the point of a gun need not respond.

I hear your discontent with our politicians but we must make our voice heard. Don't give up.

Not at all -- and my motivating factor IS my discontent!! :-) Let us hope more take a more active role.

Great. An undefined "National Sales Tax" that you merely pretend is the FairTax. And no definitoon of what was asked?

Nice try, but won't fly.

Perhaps more such local surveys should be taken to determine areas of widespread support for the fair tax and how those areas are distributed throughout the country. It might be interesting to know if support for the fair tax is regionally based and, if so, why that is the case.

If this popular support occurs nationwide, then we have a real opportunity to reform the tax system.

...we all know how that one worked out in the end.

Yeah, and the 16th one turned out so much better.

[pigdog]

Except that there's a lot of voters in GA who'd like to se he FairTax as the law of the land.

You can bet the pols will notice.

[Arcy]

Wrong. I voted. The choice had nothing to do with "property taxes".

[pigdog]

And how is it you "proved" that ... sort of like your "proof" that there's "nothing inherently wrong with the income tax"???

[Arcy]

this thread is not for you to blather on and on about Neal.

Sorry to say the problem is not a Repub vs Democrap one. The problem is generic to staying in office by buying votes and pandering to the voter.

Can you say term limits?

[numberonepal]

Nobody with any sense in Washington is going to subject the American and Global economy to such simplistic nonsense.

Are you a tax attorney in fear of your job? Do you prefer that paying taxes be a highly complicated matter only understandable by professionals?

[Arcy]

I'm highly suspect of your true motives here at Free Republic. I can't imagine any TRUE conservative referring to the Fair Tax plan as a "Crackpot Scheme" like you just did.

booger flats

What's that. All three counties are excellent places to raise a family.

[Arcy]

The "3 "booger flats" counties in Georgia" that you so colorfully refer to have been in the top 5 fastest growing counties in the nation for about as many years. You're obviously grossly misinformed on this one. By the way there was nothing "loaded" about the poll unless you mean that logic was used in its presentation. Then to liberals it would be "loaded".

[pigdog]

Sure it does - in just the same way the present system or any income-based system does - by hidden, embedded taxes in the price of everything you buy.

You merely conveniently forget that when it suits your current argument.

[xcamel]

I am absolutely for tax reform, not replacement with something that in various forms has proved to be a really bad tax plan. It's just that simple.

[xcamel]

Sorry, not my post. look again.

[Arcy]

Perhaps "Ted Kennedy north-easter" has something to do with it.

[pigdog]

I'll bet if you signed the FairTax petition on their website and sent an email telling them how you strongly support the FairTax ... they'd let you join up.

Of course if they've read any of your "stuff" on FR, they might insist you make a $1,000 donation ... but of course you can afford that.

[xcamel]

Because the "proposed replacement" does exactly the same thing - and possibly worse. If there is no constitutional spending control, there is no "good" tax plan of any kind.
