I have two problems with this.
1) I wouldn’t vote for a guy solely on the Fair Tax because I don’t think you’ll ever convince Congress to go along with it so you’d better have other reasons why you’d want that guy elected.
2) If you ever got the Democrats to *agree* to implementing the Fair Tax, they would probably keep the 23% sales tax and also find some way to keep the income tax it was meant to replace.
We saw this in Texas one time when the liberals were all in favor of the new tax. They just didn’t want to eliminate the old tax. Anyone in Congress that is reading this, make SURE you write the bill so they have to eliminate the old tax at the same time they are implementing the new tax. And don’t think for a minute some of us won’t be watching you.
Amen!
THe first three sections of this nrst are:
SEC. 101. INCOME TAXES REPEALED.
SEC. 102. PAYROLL TAXES REPEALED.
SEC. 103. ESTATE AND GIFT TAXES REPEALED.
There is also a sister bill to amend the constitution to repeal the 16th amendment [hjr 45 IIRC].
Merry Christmas!
