3. This is the consumption tax, correct?
I heard our local rightwingradionut propping up the consumption tax. In addition, Steve Forbes was on the Michael Reagan show (last night) pimping for a 30 percent consumption tax.

Forbes was also calling for a repeal of the 16th Amendment (Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several states, and without regard to any census or enumeration).

My guess is that, with their SocSec plan tanking--their new tax plan is waiting in the wings, as their next propaganda project.

CNN appears to be testing the waters for BushCo. How convenient. What timing.

Damn, these people are so transparent.
