'Fair Tax Book' makes a surprisingly strong case

It shouldn't be surprising at all.
The Fair Tax hucksters have far more financial backing to develop their propaganda than the Shamwow guy.
But it's all an abominable distortion of tax theory that's advocated by the very same financial swindlers who use our National Treasury as their personal piggy bank.

I use the misnamed "Fair Tax" as a litmus test.
If a candidate supports that thing, I know for certain that he/she can't be trusted on any other issue either.

" ... an abominable distortion of tax theory ... "

That's a pretty sweeping diatribe, but without any specifics. Have you read the book? What specifically don't you like about it vs. our current mess-of-a-tax-code? Do you know (libertarian radio talk-host) Neal Boortz, who's an ardent supporter. Or Republican Congressman John Linder, who's a co-author?

No tax system is completely without fault but, after studying the "Fair-Tax", I believe it's vastly superior to what we have today.

Huh? Please cite specific credible evidence supporting your otherwise empty claim. You obviously have no idea the difficulties Americans For Fair Taxation have had in the past raising enough donations to support passing The Fair Tax Act. The Fair Tax has survived during times of low funding due to its merits.

But it's all an abominable distortion of tax theory that's advocated by the very same financial swindlers who use our National Treasury as their personal piggy bank.

Another weak, vacuous claim without citing any reasons or names. Name the so called swindlers who endorse The Fair Tax.
