On Taxes, Huckabee Leads

Submitted by Jeffrey Locke, Dec 7, 2007 18:12

It is without a doubt the most refreshing and principled stand by a Presidential candidate that I have ever witnessed on the home front. And after looking the FairTax over myself I am assured that I will vote for Mike Huckabee for President. Go to their website and look it over yourself. It'll take a little adjusting to the paradigm shift from a tax on productivity to a tax on personal choice consumption. But once to take it all in you'll probably say "Why haven't we ever done this before?". The answer? Because not enough people know of it and pundits will distort it to create damaging propaganda. That's why I reiterate to you. Go to the fairtax.org site or call 1-800-FAIRTAX. Do not look through the eyes of anyone to form your opinion of the FairTax including me. Do the homework, it'll really payoff if you do. In more ways than one!
