I want to hear more about this guy before I make up my mind. His support for a national sales tax is a HUGE point against him. But where does he stand on issues that have nothing to do with money? What makes him really Conservative?

What makes him really Conservative?

First and foremost, his support of a tax plan that returns control of how much tax is paid to the individual is pretty redically conservative. It drains power from the control freaks in Washington, and it removes the perpetual state of jeopardy in which the IRS holds us all. The rest of his views I don't know, that's why I pinged mhking for more info. Keep in mind that this article was posted on an anti-income tax site, so that's the dominant point of his profile here.

I have to disagree with you on the sales tax issue. Taxing income is Marxist to the core. A NRST isn't a perfect plan, but it sure beats what we have now, and it seems to be the most politically viable. I'm all for it.

Why do you think replacing with income tax with a sales tax is a negative? I think it's a hugh positive.

He's pro-life, pro-gun, conservative pretty much right down the line as far as I know.
