Don't get yhour hopes up.Phil Graham and Dick Armey spent months on tour debating the merits of a sales tax vs. an income tax. Nothing ever happened. Arlen (Wishy Washy) Specter ran for president flashing a postcard- sized tax form. After he was booted from the race, he never mentioned it again.

I'm an optimist, but ..... Hey, I didn't think we were going to win the Senate either.

Be careful what you wish for. Every change in the tax code causes repercussions. Think about it. What do you think your house will be worth if you have to pay a sales tax when you sell it? If you can't deduct your mortgage interest? Would you ever again buy anything in NYC if you had to pay city, state, federal and maybe excise tax? Of course they'd start taxing everything sold through the internet.Ah hah, that's what they're after. They'll compromise on a sales tax for all interstate goods. Think of all the money the dims will have to spend...at least until we have a major depression that the new taxes cause.

There wasn't any point to them bringing it up again since there was no chance of even debating it in the Senate, let alone passage into law.

I believe that was Dick Armey and Billy Tauzin.
