It’s happening already, the problem is the pitchfork and torch crowd shouting down anyone who dares to challenge the FT cult. When your movement burns out, the flat tax will win out.
“It’s happening already.....”
It is? Do you have any evidence to support that assertion?
“...the problem is the pitchfork and torch crowd shouting down anyone who dares to challenge the FT cult.”
So FairTaxers are to blame for the fact that the flat tax has been around for what .... 20 years or more ..... and has never gotten any political traction? You don’t believe in an open marketplace of ideas? I haven’t seen anyone shouting down anyone on this thread. I am also not aware of any public presentations of the flat tax and its benefits. If there were, I can assure you that FairTaxers would not be showing up to disrupt anything.
Oh! I did think of one flat tax presentation recently. Dick Armey did one of Newt’s workshops on the American Solutions event. It was on the web. That event had far fewer participants than the FairTax one. I didn’t see it, but I am fairly certain that no FT supporters disrupted it. I certainly didn’t.
“When your movement burns out, the flat tax will win out.”
So that is why flat taxers are staying on the sidelines (except to criticize the FT)? So they are waiting until the FT movement “burns out” to decide which specific proposal to support?
