I honestly haven't read up a whole lot on the Fair Tax and when I first heard about it wasn't very much in favor of it. I know the concept is that such a high...

Sheesh. The guy's criticism of the Fair Tax is that it's not perfect, when he knows that the current system is worse. That is so typical of Libertarians (of...
Andy, I know the Libertarian party criticized you on this one. I think it was more of a political issue because of your running as a Republican. But here's...
Andy, Somehow I got discontinued on this discussion group, so I missed what some so-called Libertarian said about the Fair Tax and / or you. However, from my...

Good points, but what about the author's question regarding the 16th Amendment and what would prevent the income tax from coming back in addition to the Fair...

The LP didn't itself criticize me for my support of Fair Tax. Some Ls were mad at me when I ran as a Republican, and I suspect that's a big part of the reason...
Kurt, there were only a few Libertarians who dissed me at all during my GOP episode. And there was only one, that I'm aware of anyway, who beat on me about...
It isn't an issue. Our tax system already gets bigger and more complex with every legislative session. Even if we get the sales tax in addition to the income...
Guys... I've been reading this running debate trying not to comment. But, may I offer one small one? We have troops scattered in Iraq, Bosnia, and...

Andy, I understand your points about the fair tax not being a government "reform" bill, but simply being a tax reform bill. I agree with you on that one. It...
Barry Campbell actually opposed Andy on this issue because it was "revenue neutral" and didn't force downsizing. I had a couple of pleasant discussions with...
Sean, I agree with everything you write about the Fair Tax. If Barry opposed the fair tax, and for the reasons you say, I think he missed the boat on that...

My concern about the USA has nothing to do with the economy. Economies go up and down all the time; and usually without fatal result. Here's what bothers me: ...
Who said anything about hot air? And if somebody said that, what's wrong with hot air? I've been told that I produce large quantities of it. Anyway, I've not...
Yes, we do deserve to lose, and we've been doing it a lot. Of course, America deserves to die and we're on our way. But I do wish we'd at least resist our...

Government, by whatever definition you use, isn't the problem. We are. Our wisest founders knew this better than did Jefferson, who was no expert on the...
Dear friend, I had a letter to the editor printed in yesterday's (June 5) Indianapolis Star. One story whcih surfaced almost two weeks ago was a court case...
Good for you! I agree. As a possibly related side note; the Star hasn't printed anything from me for two years now. I went from being a columnist to being...

Sorry to be such a late responder, but have been a tad busy lately. I have been enjoying the discussion, but am obliged to respond to the commiserating that...
Well, that depends upon your view of the hereafter, of course. I do appreciate your optimism, Dave. But there'll soon be a point at which the optimistic view...
Andy, You've talked a lot about morality, but I'd like to take that topic in a little different direction, if I may. Of course, we all know that we aren't in a...
I agree. Stand strong, and keep up the good fight. :) We can't be looking for earthy victories, and who knows what long term effects will come out of our...

Well Indianapolis City-County Councilors, I truly hope that you are proud of yourself. You have proved beyond any shadow of doubt that we are turning into a...
Right on Mr Cauley! As a non-smoker (although I do enjoy a cigar in the privacy of my home from time to time) I have always wondered why the smokers of this...
