Her tax promises are too vague. Boortz said she won't sign onto the 'Fair Tax'. Has she said why?

She seems to support it:

"I advocate tax reform everywhere I go and I talk about the fair tax. What's going to be important for your viewers is that they understand it because the liberals who demagogue and say, 'You don't get your mortgage interest deductions or deductions for charities for other things,'" said U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris. "But the fact is, you're going to be keeping so much more of your money. You'll have far more to donate. You'll have far more to do anything you wish. It will be a tax not on your entire earnings. There will be nothing taxed on your earnings. It'll just be a tax on what you spend."

Of course, that doesn't mean jack coming from a politician on the campaign trail ...

I am not in Florida, so I can't really answer that question, but I can hazard to explain:

A 'fair tax' is subjective, what is fair to us is not fair to others .
Also, plans before an election have to be vague because events can change and you cannot hold onto exact promises that later turn out to be unworkable - - - - - - - - - - -


The above is my clumsy attempt to answer your query ~ ~
