Allowing the government to even write this legislation simply guarantees that we will have both income and national sales taxes.

Of course. But the Fair Taxers seem to think that this will be on the Bill in history that isn't completely picked apart by special interests on its way to becoming law.

Supposition. Perhaps based on experience but supposition just the same. Why not give it a try? Worst case it is still better than what we have.

Politicians wouldn't chance what you describe with talk radio and the internet now as the gate keepers.

Some of you guys are so negative I don't see how you get out of the house. Let's go to the ball game! Yeah, that sounds good but it will probably rain. Any way, those bums will likely lose, you know how they are. And parking. What about parking. We'll have to walk a mile. And beer? Five bucks a pop. Who needs it!

"Of course. But the Fair Taxers seem to think that this will be on the Bill in history that isn't completely picked apart by special interests on its way to becoming law."

“I discussed the importance of abolishing the income tax because of its tendency to form a habit of servility in the souls of a people that accept it. Servility of soul is bad not only in itself, it is also an open door through which will soon walk the abuses of ambitious government power. Leaders who find themselves with governmental power over a servile people will be quick to conclude that such a people exist to serve them.”
Alan Keyes “The Power of the Purse”, WorldNet Daily, August 27,1999
