Concerning the FairTax

| April 13, 2010

Since the ratification of the 16th Amendment, I suppose there is no more frequent subject of discussion in Congress, in pubs, or around the American kitchen table as that of taxation.

In doing so, Mr. Shuler displays his inability to comprehend the basic fact that continued deficit spending will lead our nation to an inevitable financial collapse. [Read more]
