I am very conversant with the fair tax as the original proponent John LInder was my congressman for many years. I prefer the fair tax over all others. Sadly it will never happen at least not in this lifetime. So the next best thing is a flat tax.
Two things that will never happen in the US are the Fair Tax and term limits.
Not to pick a fight with a fellow FReeper, particularly one FRom my second home state — I was born in Virginia to two wonderful Gerogia-born-and-bred parents! And I have spent many, many happy days in Georgia over the years. I am on the BoD of my family farm near Tennille, GA, so I have very strong Georgia ties.
But, HST, a former boss used to say to us that “Can’t never could.”
So, we must persevere and FORCE the government to do our bidding re: FairTax, term limits, voter ID, and sundry other issues on our conservative plate.
Clearly, LIEberalism is a failure, and we must continue the battle.
For, if we abandon the field of battle, the LIEberals win and we lose!
WE MUST PREVAIL! AMERICA IS DEPENDING ON US!
