I'm about as far from a Republican politically as one is likely to
get, but I'm willing to acknowledge a good idea from wherever it
comes. The fairtax is a good idea. If you can cite a particular beef
you have it then do so. I hate when people I generally agree with are
forced to stoop to silly republican smear tactics. We are better than
this. Make a rational argument or remain silent. For it is better to
remain silent and be thought stupid than to open your mouth and remove
all doubt.
