I just found out about this review, and thought it might be helpful to anyone who has the chance to go to one of the Speaker's booksignings.

I didn't know Larry Kudlow from NRO had written a review of the Speaker's book. I thought you might like to read it.

I have a better idea. Instead of imposing the flat tax on taxpayers, why don't we follow the Constitutional provision and add the tax via tariff on all goods and services entering the country? I know. I don't have enough cash to buy the politicians off. Too bad. I'd love to keep the money I earned.

Heads up!

And let’s not forget that House Ways & Means chair Bill Thomas snatched victory from the jaws of defeat in the 2003 tax-cut bill...

If it weren't for Thomas, GWB would be running a losing campaign against the Wicked Witch of Chappaqua, instead of Bunny Suit Boy.

Looks like we have a powerful supply-side mole in the U.S. House of Representatives.

GWB will ask him to resign if he finds out.

People and markets bump!

Kudlow seems to be equally in support of a flat tax or NRST. I thought that Hastert had talked about an NRST or a VAT and that he had not been supportive of a flat tax. Also, I thought that President Bush had recently said that a flat tax wasn't the way to go. If President Bush, Speaker Hastert, Majority Leader Delay and almost all Democrats oppose a flat tax, then it would seem politically dead for the foreseeable future.

Well, I met Speaker Hastert in Lincoln this morning, he signed my copy of his book, we exchanged a few pleasantries: it was pretty cool, actually.

I also asked the bookseller about Unfit for Command. She says the reason why it's not in bookstores is because the publisher hopelessly underprinted it, and its on backorder everywhere. People ought to ease up on the conspiracy theories

If Kerry takes the White House with Senate coattails in November, this worst-case scenario still leaves a Republican House. Hopefully it will act as a bulwark against galloping statism and a growing government footprint on the economy.

That's funny, because it hasn't so far.
