1 - the original income tax was 6% on income from $3-500K. Then Congress tweaked it, just like they would tweak the ‘fair tax’ - assuming you could ever get them to pass it in the first place. Running on the fair tax without explaining how you would pass it and how you would protect it from Congress is less than admirable.
2 - Huckabee strongly supported releasing Dumond. The parole board reversed their decision AFTER Huckabee announced his plan to pardon Dumond. And no democrats forced Huckabee to hand out pardons at a phenomenal rate.
And if Huckabee is elected, Congress will kick Chuck Norris’s rear end - and then raise taxes!
