[Always Right]

The fair tax was not on the ballot. What was on the ballot was if voters would support a retail tax in place of property tax. Boortz is full of it.

Boortz is full of it.

Amen to that!

I don't know why anyone puts entertainment personalities in some position of leadership or expertise. IMO that's dumb.

That said, I think the nrst would be very helpful to new construction - lower interest rates, faster savings, higher purchasing power for buyers...

BTW you never argued against my example showing how one of your potential customers would be more able to buy one of your homes under the nrst than the income tax. Is that because you agreed?

No. On the Cobb ballot, it was asked as a separate question. Didn't read the Gwinnett Cty ballot, but your summary wasn't correct for the one I voted for.

Not according to Gwinnet County official ballot results.

They are telling me Always Right, isn't.

Then why did they use the term "fair tax"?

[Arcy]

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

Did you mark a Cobb, Gwinnett or Fayette Ballot?

I did, it didn't mention propeerty tax and Boortz is not full of it.
[who does that leave?]

From the AJC:
"Republican voters in Gwinnett and Cobb counties, for example, will get to sound off on illegal immigrants and say whether they'd like the federal income tax replaced with a national sales tax known as the "Fair Tax.""
