Larry K doesn't even support the Fairtax anymore, and his Purple tax reform proposal is quite a bit worse than the Fairtax, imho.<br /><br />Rather than trudging along and trying to push a wet noodle uphill, is anyone ready to try a simpler approach? If you really want to get rid of the hated income tax, it can be done with a 10% consumption tax as long as you leave FICA alone, leave gift/estate taxes in place, target the prebate at around the same cost as the EITC, forget about any inventory tax credits, don't tax governments, and phase it in over five years or so. I call it Fairtax-Lite, and it draws on many criticisms developed over the last five years. If you believe we should walk before running, than Lite might appeal to you.Dutchman3https://www.blogger.com/profile/04598625693698270641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776665703590564248.post-74290433476540027172011-08-10T17:28:19.571-04:002011-08-10T17:28:19.571-04:00In addition to the "unbiased" hearing it...In addition to the "unbiased" hearing it was given where, as you mentioned, many Democrats already had an unfavorable opinion of it, did you notice how the seats (nearly filled in the beginning) gradually emptied as time rolled on? It's like "I'm done making my attacks, I don't need to hear anything more."<br /><br />It's sick the way these corrupt politicians work. Every one of them need to be voted out immediately, but as you also alluded to, we don't have the grassroots movement needed to do that at this point.<br /><br />The only thing I can say is keep trudging along. We'll eventually get there; as long as we don't give up.<br /><br />Thanks for this article, I look forward to more from you.

The combination of a strong FairTax Candidate with the emotional and popular support of the FairTax by the voters is the only chance The FairTax has.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
