This Fair Scam Tax proposal is another reason why Huckabee should be shut out.
Lets focus on the issue at hand.
We are discussing a tactical situation where Huckabee stays in for no reason other than a spoiler.
BIG IF his delegates are needed to push either mccain or romney over the top then he can cut a deal with them IF either mccain or romney will cut a VP deal.
It also leaves the door open to McCain nad Romney cutting a deal with each other and shutting out kookpaul and Hucabee from the equation and they get zero.
Of course if it is REALLY close, ronpaul could cut a deal for his few delegates at a “less expensive” price than huckabee and shut out Huckabee.
net result:
Fair Tax HR 25 still will never ever ever become law. ever. (to borrow a previous post)
Regardless whether he wins or not, his place in history is assured. He'll be fondly remembered by future Republicans, unlike Huckabee who'll be a toenail note.
States specifically do not tax certain items in order to reduce the tax burden on the poor...
Spare me the class lesson. Without ADDRESSING SPENDING, the UnFair Tax is more of the same. I'll take paying NO taxes (under Paul) than paying 30$%+ sales tax (under Huckabee).
