Let me ask you a question. First let me say that I haven't read any further yet so I don't know if anyone has commented on your remark. Now the question:
Let's say that the Congress votes in the FairTax and the FairTax Bill calls for the repeal of the Income Tax and the destruction of the IRS, and the start of the process of repealing the 16th Amendment -- you do know that the Congress can pass a bill overnight, but it might take years for the states to act on repealing an amendment, right?
Okay, this is what they do one day and all is good, right? Next week they vote to reinstate everything and still keep the FairTax?
What would you do? Would you just say "Damn, I knew that they'd do this"? or would you head out to the Capitol or your local rep who voted for a reinstatement -- and string 'em up?
If you choose to sit on your ass and just swear, perhaps you should have to pay both taxes.
I know that you are for the FairTax, but we can't be passive about this. Congress has to know that (at least) their political lives are on the line. Perhaps more than that.
They aren't our bosses. They are our representatives. If they do what you suggest, they have declared war on the American people and should pay a hefty price for their transgression.
Does that sound like I'm advocating violence? I sure hope so.
I wouldn't kill them but I would vote them out and e-mail them my disgust. If the country doesn't get itself straight soon, then I'll just leave.
