[Mr. Silverback]

Thanks for serving, you rock and GIVE ‘EM HELL!

[Mr. Silverback]

I would like to know if you will support The Fair Tax Act if elected.

I hope the answer is "no" for three reasons:

a) The system is a ready made Dem talking point beause it will shaft the middle class.

b) Congresscritters will get to have a big say in one's monthly income, leading to even easier mass social experimentation.

c) Any system that requires sending a monthly gubmint check to all or most americans would have the Founders spinning in their graves like Dremel tools.

On second thought, if we arrange magnets, wire and George Washington's corpse in the right fashion and then pass the Fair Tax, it might solve all our electric power needs...

[Mr. Silverback]

See post 22. Illegals are the least of the Fair Tax’s problems.

[Mr. Silverback]

Thanks for serving! What did you do for Uncle Sam? I was a KC-135 crew chief.

[alarm rider]

You were a gas passer? LOL.

Well, I was a MTI, crew member and Officer Air Crew (Coms). Regular and reserve.

Depending on your service, we might have ahh.. seen each other below to above.

Thank you for your service.

Regards,
AR

[Mr. Silverback]

Heh! I didn't pass the gas, I was ground crew. Here's the bird I was Asst. Crew Chief on in the 310th ARS, The Spirit of Plattsburgh:

Here.

She's with the Maine ANG these days.

I did go with her on a lot of refuelling flights, though. I was in from '89-94 and crewed her from late '92 to January '94. What were you crew on?

[ovrtaxt]

That’s an excellent question.

SALUTE

[Tennessee Nana]

I flew a computer...

UNIVAC II ...

[ovrtaxt]

I read on your page that you’re in favor of lower income taxes. That’s great!

How do you feel about doing away with the taxation of income altogether and going to a Federal sales tax instead (HR25)?

[BenLurkin]

Conservatives in Congress is what this nation needs.

Best of luck to you!

[Mr. Silverback]

Thank you for serving, ma’am!

My kids were amazed at a finger-sized jump drive I have which holds (IIRC) about 26 MB. I told them, “Imagine how someone who worked on the computers the size of a room feel!”

[Tennessee Nana]

And only 84 spaces across on the “remotes” which were big things that could not be moved easily...

and we had to know all kinds of codes and numbers...

The USAF was still using 2nd Generation technology while the business world was using 4th when I was in

COBAL etc..

[Mr. Silverback]

I remember using the CAMS system, which was COBOL based 2nd generation, IIRC. A real bear compared to what the civilians were already using.

[Mr. Silverback]

How do you feel about doing away with the taxation of income altogether and going to a Federal sales tax instead (HR25)?

See post 22 for why I hope she's against it.

[Constitutionalist Conservative]

Has Boortz addressed any of these points? To hear him talk about it, we're morons if we fail to support the Fair Tax.

[Non-Sequitur]

OK, I’m somewhat confused on the timing. Hasn’t South Carolina already had its primary? And isn’t Brown the current congressman and the Republican nominee for reelection to the seat?

[CutePuppy]

If I can make a suggestion on strategy (especially if your opponent is a “conservative” Democrat), see comments #1, #4, #8 and #9 in this short thread:

Good luck to you!

Thank you for your service - why do you look so angry in your picture?
