The thing about Thompson is that he hasnt yet been drawn into the ME ME ME tac that the rest have. Then there is the out and out lying and all by the rest-Dems and Republicans.
I think Mr Thompson is level headed enough to put some civility back into politics at a time when we really need it. If he falls and doesnt get the nod, I am afraid we are headed for all out civil war in this country. The shouting has been going on for years now and all it would take is a spark to get it going.
If Fred would simply say he would back a Fair Tax or some other form of tax and abolish the present tax system, he would rocket to the front of the pack. Be a champion of the working class..he already has the rest of the issues nailed down pretty good.
He’s already backing an optional flat tax.
Surprise! He has. Mash here to read his white paper about taxes.
You might also be interested in his plan for Social Security. Pretty gutsy!
Fred has such a plan. I've been at three of his appearances here in Davenport and he has made a point of discussing his tax reform plan every time.

His new Christmas ad is a great illustration of this. He made all the other politicians of both parties look silly and small.
