You did not look at the poll. No you didn’t.

And you brought up the subject of polls.

And there is no sales force here in this person. There are objective observations of trend which you fail to see or pay attention to. As for your lame comment:

“Ask 100 Americans of they want tax reform and 95% will say “hell yes”, me included. Let them hear BOTH sides of the fair tax and it’s dead in the water.”

That’s not a poll. That’s not even an accurate observation. That is HOT AIR.

Here’s the link and facts of the Michigan poll on the FairTax:

http://www.fairtax.org/site/News2?page=NewsArticle&id=9755&news_iv_ctrl=1521

********************************************************
The National Federation of Independent Business-Michigan, in a February survey of members, found 52 percent of respondents in favor of the Fair Tax proposal, 32.6 percent opposed and 15.4 percent undecided.

That support and opposition is reversed from a 2007 NFIB poll that was taken when a similar Fair Tax proposal was being considered to replace the SBT. That poll found 32.4 percent in favor of the Fair Tax, 57.3 percent opposed and 10.3 percent undecided.
********************************************************

That’s a huge swing that is in the process of replicating across the nation.

Here’s another trend fact for you:

There are now 75 Cosponsors of the FairTax in Congress, the largest reform movement in Congress today, the largest tax reform block in our lifetimes. Not even Ronald Reagan’s tax reform had as many sponsors in Congress.

And of the 75 FairTax Cosponsors in Congress, there were only 54 just two years back. That’s a 39% increase in support and there would be more and will more.

And then there are the grassroots memberships that have increased in the last year and a half from over 500,000 to now over 1,200,000.

If you think all of these people are “rotting their brains” as you sniped at MAN50D in your earlier post, then I would like to hear your qualifications and credentials that give you a basis for making such a charge. The millions of people behind the FairTax movement include award winning PhD academics, honorable judges, members of Congress and former Federal Reserve Governors.

As for MAN50D, I have observed him to be tenacious, well-informed, fact-based and always willing to share reliable information. All I have seen of you is HOT AIR.

You are apparently enamored with your own HOT AIR. Enjoy it but kindly keep it away from those that choose to carry an intelligent discourse on these threads.
