The Saturday Primaries Are Here

Today is do or die for many candidates. Too bad they listened to Washington politics and not to the people they were trying to get to vote for them.

You would think they would each take a page out of history and stand for at least one thing. For example, Lincoln set out to help rid our country of a nasty problem - slavery. Lincoln had a 100 to 1 chance of being elected, yet he prevailed because he knew that injustice is injustice. Sure, the president has to have an overall outlook for leading our country, and no, I am not comparing the unfair taxation of our citizens to slavery. But why not stand for one solid principle and get it accomplished?

I think many politicians try to fix too many things at one time. Why not concentrate on one thing at a time and get it done?

So I harp again - the FairTax is a great place to start in fixing many of our economic problems. Is it a perfect answer? No. But it will eliminate the truck load of paperwork and the building that holds the outline for the current tax code with a very reasonable tax.

For those still wanting to know the "FairTax plan is a comprehensive proposal that replaces all federal income and payroll based taxes with an integrated approach including:

• A progressive national retail sales tax.
• A prebate to ensure no American pays federal taxes on spending up to the poverty level.
• Dollar-for-dollar federal revenue neutrality.
• Repeal of the 16th Amendment through companion legislation."
