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. Who should pay; how much should be paid; when should the tax be paid; should the rates be the same for all or should it be progressive; should the poor pay none and the wealthy pay it all and on it goes for these past 97 years.

The last yr. of GW Bush the U.S. ship 200,000lbs of “yellow cake” to Canada for disposale. I liked what I heard from you. I think 4 of the others lost a lot of point tonight.

| March 16, 2010

From the Tenth Amendment Center:

For two days last week, candidates for both state and federal offices in the 2010 elections gathered together to discuss strategies for upholding a strict interpretation of the 10th Amendment, which states, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” The candidates presented their views and ideas to a capacity crowd last Friday.

In a joint statement read to the crowd, the nearly two-dozen candidate participants pledged to “limit and restrain all federal government exercise of power that exceeds in any way the plain language of those few powers listed in the Constitution and to nullify all others that exceed such limit.” [Read more]

Should we impose more regulations on banks?

Should we impose more regulations on banks?

| January 28, 2010

As a firm believer in the Free Market, I oppose any government regulation that inhibits the free exchange of goods and services between individuals. Artificially setting economic parameters prevents the natural selection process of success and failure in business and in life. [Read more]

I can’t go 97%… I have to go 100%

The fiscal issues you raise are one of the primary elements in my plan to use free market economic principles to fix our nation’s problems. We are most certainly taxed too much, a fact that, in and of itself, prevents our economy from expanding and providing sustainable job growth. [Read more]
