The crew here aren’t anarcho-capitalists. We believe in limited government, not no government. Governments must function on taxation. Think necessary evil.

I guess the crew here doesn’t believe that “Taxation is Robbery.” http://www.mises.org/etexts/taxrob.asp

Hopefully, the senator from Oregon will come to his senses to favor the FairTax! It’s a real chance for Democrats to help restore their “American Dream” for middle-class Americans!

Senator Wyden, the Presidents Tax Commission and so many others miss the basic point. We don’t need more taxes, we need more tax payers. The FairTax adds the illegal aliens, those in the underground economy, the illegal economy (drugs, prostitution, etc.) tourists and business visitors to the United States to that tax base.

Anyone trying to redistribute wealth using ANY modification of the existing code is seriously deranged. Only when we stop taxing ourselves and corporations to death will true growth and competition emerge. The FairTax is the ONLY option. Period. But only a wholesale turnover of our current do-nothing-but-line-their-pockets Congress based on a groundswell of righteous indignation will result in the FairTax being passed. Tea party anyone?

I find myself responding to this article more because I want to thank the author for telling it like it is rather than taking real action to do something truly meaningful. Senator Wyden’s propsal to raise taxes on corporation is just another example of people letting themselves be fooled into raising their own taxes. Since corporations only pass on these taxes as a business expense, they don’t really pay them; we do.

Now I think I go back to my letter writing campaign to make sure my own elected officials know that I want them to support the FairTax, regardless of thier party affiliation, or lack there of.
