I only ran opinions on the fair tax because this board was dead..OK, I will concede that you know more about it than me..and I ran other opinions, and mine isn't completely formed, maybe to cause a stir. OK, I concede that also. I just like the idea of fairer taxes for those on the bottom, more demand in this country.. and the Country needs revenues no matter what. I mean this is the USA, we can do a helluva lot better, but we still have big plans, we are the leader of the free world. Trickle down is DOA, has been for a decade. It sounded like you wanted the teachers to take pay cuts...maybe all that blood money at the top has to take a cut..call me a lib, and say it like you really hate everyone to the left of you(if it feels good) but it's morally wrong to be at war for 9 years, and have it all on a Chinese credit card, while the wealth of the top 2% has more than tripled since 2004 and it wasn't Social Security's fault either (and that is the working man's main tax). It's been running surpluses for years, and also has had these surpluses raided annually. BTW, Union guys pay the most SS tax..and Aunt Mildred appreciates it!
