Well the arguement should be made in terms of freedom...

It has been, consistently.

Must I point you to numerous threads taughting the fair tax calculator or other threads preaching the great economic windfalls of going to the fair tax. Certainly there is some who stick to the freedom angle, but mosts posts and threads always concerned the economic benefits.

Well, if your urge to point is irresistible, point away and I'll give it all due consideration.

However, for your own benefit, I suggest you pause and consider that the reason there are far more posts discussing the economic specifics is because that is where the uncertainty lies, and thus that is where the partisans of the various viewpoints can most easily find the ammunition for their arguments.

Another reason, which Neal Boortz has pointed out frequently on his talk show, is that most Americans no longer really care about their freedom, and will not fight to defend it. They are only concerned with their own securtiy and creature comforts.
