With all the in-fighting amongst Conservatives lately, I figgered this is one issue on which all GOPers should be able to agree...then again, maybe some of y'all look forward to giving the Feds 55% of everything you've earned over your lifetime when you pass on.

Here's one issue the Right can--and should--win!! If the DemonRAT Senate blocks its passage, we've got a good item on which to distinguish the Right from the Left in November.

Well, repeal of the death tax is only a baby step.
What we citizens really ought to do is demand that the entire progressive income tax be scrapped and the IRS abolished!
What would replace the horrible system now in place? I am glad you asked that question.
The United States should replace the failed progressive income tax with a fair, flat, simple and easy to collect National Retail Sales Tax, of course!
I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man. [Thomas Jefferson, letter to Benjamin Rush, 1800.]
Scrap the Code! Scrap the IRS! Abolish the VLWC!
We will never be a truly FRee people so long as we have the income tax and the IRS.

Thanks...the software sure makes it easy. Bump up any FRiends you think may be similarly-inclined. With all of the DemonRATS Agenda we've been enacting lately, it sure would be nice getting a win for the Conservatives every once in awhile.

"...repeal of the death tax is only a baby step." Yes, but a baby step in the Right Direction!! We've had far too few of those lately, IMHO.

Thisa is a fight we can pick - AND WIN. Not only that - just think of how many NFL players that would go Republicna on this issue. A lot of black kids look up to NFL, baseball, and NBA players. We could make inroads into the NEXT generation of black voters with this!

I was born in Emporia, KS and most of my kinfolk still live in or around Topeka.
Kansas certainly is God's Country.

"This is a fight we can pick - AND WIN." Yep...
"We could make inroads into the NEXT generation of black voters with this!"
Yep...combine it with the School Voucher Issue to repair inner city schools and we could make some major inroads come next November and November '04!!

It's about dictating the issues of the debate and the terms of the debate. That means planning in advance, and planning for contigencies. It also means being willing to punt. No need to do the political equivalent of Pickett's Charge.
I want the political equivalent of Schwarzkopf's "Hail Mary" instead. I want something that works and gives us a DECISIVE win.

"It also means being willing to punt. No need to do the political equivalent of Pickett's Charge." Unfortunately, lately it seems like we're punting too often on first and second down, and the "charges" the Right's been making are more akin to something we'd expect outta Neville Chamberlin. I'm confident Conservatism can win over Collectivism each and every time it is attempted...we need to challenge the Left on the Battlefield of Ideas and the Sheeple will come to understand that which we are already sure.

Jim Gilmore became governor of Virginia in 1997 because of one single issue, "No Car Tax." The car tax was hated so much that this became a winning issue across all spectrums of the voting public. Can you imagine how the slogan "No Death Tax" will appeal to everyone on the national scene? It's a winning issue and the conservatives should jump on it.

Sounds like a plan, to me.
Make the suckers explain WHY we should keep a tax.
Same way the Liberal-Socialists made us explain why we'd, "want to starve kids & seniors" by paring-down the monstrous, federal leviathan
...this stuff can be an awful lot of fun; IF, the hand's played properly.

Hi, Mudboy. I love reading your posts all around the boards. I was born in Garnett, Kansas and have lived in Kansas all my life. I grew up on a farm about 45 minutes SE of Emporia (Westphalia/Burlington area).
To: Mudboy Slim
Thanks for the heads up. I'll call Randy Forbes' office this afternoon. Where you been, son?

"Where you been, son?" Recharging my batteries and paying some bills...priming myself for a busy mid-term election season.
Good to see you, too, my FRiend...MUD

"I grew up on a farm about 45 minutes SE of Emporia..." Both my parents graduated from Kansas State Teacher's College--now Emporia State--back in '63.

Done. Email isn't the best bet, though, so I also called his office. We'll see how he votes. He's been known to misbehave when he thinks no one is looking.
