    Fred Thompson's Tax Proposal

    Better keep that lip stiff, we wouldn't want any more leakage. (My first post was in response to a comment on the "flat tax" - the present thread evolved from there.)

    Fred Thompson's Tax Proposal

So, the FairTax rate (figured as an income-tax-rate-non-comparative, sales tax) on new items would be 29.85% (on the new, reduced cost of items because...

    Fred Thompson's Tax Proposal

    Yes, that's the American, "can do" spirit. I'm honored to be among such an intelligent group that figures that if something's worth doing, but "it'd never get passed," its merits are irrelevant. :duh: I'll be on my way, now.

    Fred Thompson's Tax Proposal

    Tell me what you think it won't cure, and I'll be happy to respond. I've already given you reasons why to advocate for FairTax (I wouldn't term my comments as "snake oil" - that would presuppose that I'm talking to some simple folk here. I never make such an assumption - although, I might...

    Fred Thompson's Tax Proposal

    Oh, just hang me! It is up to us to demand that our legislators vote for the FairTax. Then, we must back up our convictions with our dollars and/or actions (if only to forward info here and there). In order to change America's tax system, we must provide funding to the organization that got...

    Fred Thompson's Tax Proposal

    Dear "Irritated by words" Well, questions about FairTax recur; answers need not be re-crafted with each recurrence. Now one could assume that my posts were not germane to the topic - which, of course, means that I had no motivation to post the things I did - which, of course, is ridiculous...

    Huckabee's Fair Tax

    FairTax for Equitable Change There is no reasonable equity of distribution under the current INCOME tax system. What's more, the Tax Code has become a "tinkerer's paradise" for 53% of the lobbyists who game it in Washington DC. It's a lucrative business, and the U.S. taxpayer pays for all of it...

    Huckabee's Fair Tax

    What It Is, Man Mike Huckabee is an adroit public speaker. He communicates his message in life-like, cogent terms, with compelling examples like the story he told (at the Ames Straw Poll) of what his then-11-yo daughter entered into the "Comments" section of a Visitors Book after visiting the...
