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 ...
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.I'm curious, how do you "join" the FairTax organization? Have you joined? How did you do it?
Get back to me when the Ways and Means Committee actually schedules the hearings on this turkey -- assuming of course that they ever do.
For an example of tax reform that is neither voodoo nor doodoo, see Kemp-Roth.
Ironic that the economist that developed the Kennedy tax cuts and helped advise the man who inspired the voodoo charge was at the same school where I matriculated about a year after I met the very same man who uttered the charge a few months before I met him at my other school, by which time of course he was the running mate of the man who he had previously charged with practicing voodoo. Even more ironic was that the charge was uttered AT the same school where the noted economist taught and your friendly neighborhood Freeper attended. Conservatism was a small world back then -- as was Monetarism, Efficient Capital Markets, MM Theory, and the Shadow Open Market Committee.
Now go and have fun playing with the FairTax, or, as Hedley LaMarr shouted to his men: "Now go do that voodoo that you do!!"
