FairTax Rally

As some of you are probably aware, I support the Fair Tax tax reform proposal. A rally was held in Atlanta, Georgia that drew thousands and was covered by a local television station. The only inaccuracy I heard in the report was that the Fair Tax is a sales tax on all goods. That's not true: the Fair Tax is a sales tax on all new goods; once the tax has been paid on a new item, it is no longer taxable.

Take a look at the news report for yourself -- I couldn't link you directly to the video but scroll down and you'll find it 26th or 27th in the list. Scroll patiently. ;-)

FairTax Bill HR 25/S25 Fair Tax bills are pending in Congress now. Rallies like these help publicize the interest in abolishing the income tax and moving forward on reforming our system the RIGHT way.

The Fair Tax group is well-organized and very active. The Fair Tax website has resources you can use to make it easy to voice your support to Congress and become active in your local community.

If you are a fiscal Conservative and interested in changing the way we fund our federal government through taxation, do check it out. This tax reform rewards the right things: saving money, earning a good income, and buying used goods. It's a refreshing and realistic choice.

Is conscription the prescription?

US Representative, Charlie Rangel (D-NY) is at it again. Rangel's prescription for fixing the ills we're feeling in Iraq is a draft . I have very mixed feelings about this. Conscription is conscription no matter what you choose to label it. Is that appropriate in a free country? On the flip side of this coin, I've often thought that compulsory national service would be a great idea for American kids right out of high school. It might have been a better start for me than learning to down beer at a Liberal Arts university! Two years in the service might give kids time to think about their future, learn higher levels of responsibility, and begin to take life more seriously. There are many countries who require some level of mandatory military service: Belarus, Chile, China, Croatia, Serbia, Russia, Iran, Lebanon, our neighbor Mexico, and our old buddy Germany, to name a few. Gee, now that I look at that partial list... aren't many of those countries Socialist or at battl...

New Party Catch Phrase

Howard Dean has asked The People's Cube to help craft a new catch phrase for the party. You can help ! And, with gems like these, you might want to act quickly before Dean picks one: If it ain't easy, it ain't workin'! Why is everyone else so stupid? Islamists don't cause war, stupid, our military does! While you're at The People's Cube, don't miss the new articles on meetings between the new Democrat leaders on the Hill and Al Qaeda. They are already hard at work solving the world's problems in a bipartisan way!

As the Blog Turns...

Gee. I have found myself fascinated by the soap opera unfolding in the comments section of this blog since last night. One little mention on a controversial Democrat's blog and it's High Noon on ConservaChick! (Yes, I'm laughing while I type this.) For those of you who have no idea what's happening in the ever-expanding comments section , join the club! Here's what I know about Mark Nickolas from bits and pieces I've read on his blog, and from a local news report: Nickolas likes to sneer at Republicans and call them snide little nicknames as he provides his "Unfiltered and Candid Look at Politics, Politicians and the Media in Kentucky;" he raised a ruckus within the Democrat party here in Kentucky by filing a suit against the chairman of the party , Jerry Lundergan; and he will be appearing on the same panel with yours truly on Thursday night. That's about it. You now have the benefit of my not-so-extensive knowledge on this subject. Nickolas poste...
