PJ Nails it. A lot of discussion goes on between the NRST group, and the Flat Taxers and skeptics. I thought this article on the process and traps would be of interest.

PJ is correct. What these stupid politicians, of both parties, don't understand is that if they just went to DC and gave us simple, constructive policies and spend more time at home instead of passing new laws, they'd be overwhelmingly re-elected.

I'm sick and tired of local people thinking the federal government needs to be tapped for money for their pet project. I don't give a hoot about a big hole in Boston (most big holes in Boston are in the heads of it's residents) or a light rail system in (fill in the blank).

You want it? Pay for it. If I stub my toe on a broken sidewalk plank, I don't go to my Senator to create a demand for nationwide sidewalk reform. And don't laugh, someone did to help the "handicapped" in wheelchairs!
