pointing out that a bunch of politicians didn't have a problem with wealth redistribution isn't a great argument. politicians of all persuasions have the retention of power as their primary goal and selling animosity towards the other guy always plays in Peoria.

And yet the flat tax has never played well in Peoria either as far as I know...or Crappo, MD or Boring, OR or Normal, IL or even Santa Claus, IN.

The support for a flat tax is and has always been flat, never reaching the level of widespread support anywhere....no other way to put it.

Perhaps that will change now with the new celebrity spokesman.........Joe the Plumber!

Now there is a credible person who I want speaking for me!

You must pay $.99 to express your support for his fair tax.....LOL....that seems fair!
