I want to completely eliminate all federal income and payroll taxes. And do I mean all — personal federal, corporate federal, gift, estate, capital gains, alternative minimum, Social Security, Medicare, self-employment," Huckabee says. "Instead we will have the FairTax, a simple tax based on wealth."

Visit the Americans For Fair Taxation website for more information and The Fair Tax Act Of 2007 to read the bill. Fair Tax ping!

Thanks for the post. I’m glad that I support Tommy Thompson. While he was a governor, he signed bills that cut tax rates and spending more than Huckabee. Two of the last three republican presidents were governors, and Tommy Thompson was a governor almost as long as Huckabee and Romney, combined.

The FairTax is one reason I might find Huckabee palatable and could hold my nose for him, but I'm less than impressed with most of his record.

He's not quite one of my "No Way" candidates yet, those being McCain, Giuliani, Brownback, McCain, Paul, and McCain.
