Fair Tax ping!
Great news indeed. 61 supporting sponsors in the House makes near 15%. That percentage has to be taken seriously especially knowing there are at least that many sitting on the fence ready to join when the time is right.
15% and fence sitters are alot of bargaining power.
As the movement grows it will become more and more acceptable to join the movement as it becomes more mainstream.
We’re getting closer to enactment. I will give it three years, two years into the first term of President Thompson.
And it will be sweet to have the Sixteenth Amendment repealed in 2013, the 100th anniversary of the unAmerican monstrosity known as the ‘Income’ tax.
After having done that, I have no other choice but to feel outraged. I will not vote for, support, campaign for, or donate to any candidate for federal office who does not support the FairTax, including the complete abolishment of the IRS and a repeal of the 16th Amendment.
I want so much for this to pass! My reps are sponsors, how can we get to the rest? Freepers should activate as much as they are on the Shamnesty bill.
Good news.
BTTT!!
For six years the Republicans could have actually done something about the FairTax and didn’t. Now that there is no chance of it even getting past committee (why didn’t this happen when the Republicans were in charge of the committee — think about it), they sponsor the bill in record numbers! And why not, they know it’s going nowhere and by sponsoring it they get the support of the mindless FairTax drones.
The funniest one is Dennis Hastert. The guy was fricken Speaker of the House. If he really supported the FairTax, he could have gotten some movement on it. But what did y'all get from him? NOTHING!! And now that he's just an irrelevant representative from Illinois with no power, he's a big time supporter!! And all the FairTaxer love him for it!! Where was he when you needed him?
Suckers!
