A FairTax Leader?

As the results were posted from the Michigan primaries, I heard several different news agencies speak to different Republican candidates. Each time they mentioned that Gov. Romney had the lead in delegates and had one win and two second place finishes. This was news worthy.

But why did they keep asking candidates about Mike Huckabee? I am serious. Each candidate was asked how they could overcome the presence of Huckabee.

So let me ask, if Romney is in the lead, then why is Huckabee a threat? Could it be that he is making a stronger showing than the media can handle?

I think they need to realize that the FairTax is the most radical piece of change being promoted by any candidate. No matter how many plugs each candidate gets, they all role out the same talking points. Yes, we need national defense. Yes, we need to deal with our immigration policies and problems. Yes, we need to get the federal government out of education. But we all know this. But what about having to deal with taxes and how America's current tax system is choking out our economy? It is the economy stupid.

You can ask any of the candidates if they support the FairTax, and they give you their answers. I want to know why people are not asking if the candidates have themselves looked earnestly at the FairTax? Why not? They are fed by the same unchanging dysfunctional lobbying that panders to the beltway politicians who fear they may have to find a new job.

You can contact the top Republican leaders in the Senate and ask why they have bought into the lobbyist who are trying to silence the FairTax. Will you get an honest answer? I do not know. Will you get a lobby answer? You just may.

The FairTax is the best alternative for our tax problems. No one else is coming up with better solutions. They are suggesting bandages, but how long will those hold before the wounds have to be redressed?

We do not need a fix. We need a change.
