descent is to be crushed, not explored.

That’s how the Reich-wing works.

You must not have been listening to the same caller I was because he was indeed cut off before he could expand on his thought. As soon as Boortz heard the word hypocrite he had had enough and decided this man didn't know what he was talking about and wouldn't get a chance to explain himself. Try opening your ears to ideas and viewpoints that are not the same as yours. It will make you a better, more well-rounded individual.

I was listening to the very caller you mention. First, the caller was absolutely clueless about his "relevant point" and could only mention the word "hypocrite" with a bit of babbling. It was obvious the caller had no, zero, zip, nada idea what the Fair Tax was about. Boortz cave him much more time than he deserved. What is really very funny (In a very tragic way.)is the very person who would benefit the most from the Fair Tax opposes it. If the program is implemented as proposed in the legislation it would provide proportional increased income for all especially those at the lower end of the scale. It would make the US the center of international business and production and create many additional high paying jobs. The Fair Tax would remove a great deal of power from Congress and the Tax lobbyists. Business decisions would be made based on business requirements and not on how to create the greatest income in spite of income tax, capital gains tax, dividend tax, etc. Exports would not contain the Fair Tax and todays $100,000 US made product would export at some $77,000! We would rapidly become an export nation rather than an import nation. The very people who hate the Fair Tax concept are the same people who support and think they understand the current Democrat presidential "primary system". This primary system is serious for them and a major source of entertainment for real Americans. Also, most anti-Fair Tax people are those who have never read it or if they have read it can't comprehend it or if they seem to understand it they change the details of the proposed legislation to support their predetermined negative view of the Fair Tax. One thing is certain the current anti-Capitalist Tax system is designed to penalize success through the confiscation of income and is used to direct business decisions by using the “tools” of Tax Credits and Tax deductions to control the market. None of these would matter under the Fair Tax because it is a Consumption tax paid only when the buyer decides to spend his money. The Income Tax is taken in most cases before the earner receives his money and the decision to confiscate the funds is made by the government rather than by the individual. Note: I support the Fair Tax and think it merits a national review and discussion using the proposed Fair Tax program as the basis for such an intellectual debate.
