The Fair Tax has gotten a lot of sponsors, the Senator here in NC (Burr) recently sent out an email talking about the Fair Tax and working in the next few months to get some kind of reform going.

It won’t happen with this Congress and President, but at least they’re still talking about it.

I hope Linder’s replacement supports the Fair Tax and that Linder will keep working for it, perhaps by lobbying. He’d be the best Fair Tax lobbyist you could ask for.

ingredient along with drill here, drill now. These two programs would do more to revitalize and rescue our economy than any other plan that is now on the drawing board. We need a massive influx of capital and the Fair Tax would do that. We need to sever the umbilical cord of foreign oil and join other world leaders in the production and refining of our own resources. Not only would we assure this nation of energy independence but we could export these products abroad which would reverse the flow of money from the US to a flow of money to the US. Untold billions and trillions would give new life to the US economy. It would also restore America to its standing as the worlds greatest super power.
However! actually becoming an energy exporter would cause environmentalists to suffer an aneurysm, and that by the way is the #1 reason they hate Sarah Palin. But I believe that we have the technology to have our cake and eat it too. We can do this and still save the snail darter, whales, spotted owls, and maybe we can even increase the population of geese to a point that all air travel can be banned because they are bringing down more aircraft than stinger missiles. Common sense in the environmental movement is just about as rare as common sense from the leadership of this country.

Erick’s in Macon. Plus he’s too busy doing his activism thing.
