Mr. Bowyer seems to be getting a lot of undeserved attention lately. He recently published an article Fair Tax Flaws in the Wall Street Journal which inspired a FR thread. In it he says "I'm a recovering tax accountant (and not a good one at that) and I've got 50 ways to avoid this tax swimming around in my head. What about the really smart guys?"

So, what is Bowyer's claim to fame and what gives him any credibility on this subject?

Me too. I’m going to make a fortune teaching businesses how to legally avoid the fair tax.

He has no real claim to fame. And if pressed, he would have to disclose his firmly held belief that the government acts within its proper authority when it uses the income tax to toy with and manipulate the citizens. He thinks we need to be made less selfish by the income tax....ie....he thinks it is perfectly appropriate for the government to take from the rich and give to the poor. He supports the use of government force in the redistribution of wealth.

Gee, now where have I heard that concept elucidated before?!?!?!?!?
