A movement toward critical thinking in politics

So opponents of simplifying our tax system, please explain to me how this gigantic cluster we call a tax code is fair to all those people that didn’t have my educational opportunities, perhaps can’t afford tax software or professional tax help, and have a more complex return than I do? The guy that hangs dry wall on the side, the immigrant landscaper, the tailor, etc.

I don’t know whether the Fair Tax is the best solution to the tax mess that we have today. What I do know is that in light of the worsening economic situation and failed economic stimulus we need something to stimulate business growth and hiring. The Fair Tax may be the answer. It may not be the answer. The problem is, I really don’t know because the Fair Tax has never received a fair hearing in Congress, nor does it receive anything close to a fair hearing in the media.
