DUCK AND COVER
(Soon to be former) presidential candidate Mike Huckabee wants you!
Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee says he’ll spend much of the month of July campaigning in Iowa in hopes of building support for the Iowa Republican Party’s Straw Poll August 11th.
“I think it’s a milestone for us, without a doubt. I don’t think I have to win the Straw Poll, but I think I have to do well,” Huckabee says.
Huckabee isn’t declaring he’ll be finished as a candidate if he finishes poorly in the August contest, but Huckabee says a bottom-of-the-pack ranking would cause him to re-evaluate his race.
Evangelical Christians, those who advocate a national sales tax to replace the income tax and home schoolers are among those being targeted by Huckabee’s campaign as what Huckabee describes as “true believers” who will help attract others to support him in the Straw Poll.
Huckabee was one of the three monkeys who, during the first GOP debate, raised their paws in response to the question about who didn’t believe in evolution. He doesn’t need true believers. He needs true morons.

Huckabee’s got the right take on America’s “road to serfdom” via the Marxist income tax. (I might add that Mike Gravel (D) ALSO is RIGHT ON where his Democratic “politics-as-usual” fellow presidential contenders put their own power and ego needs before the needs of the country.) Very simply, here is why the FairTax MUST replace the current U.S. income tax system. The FairTax is: • SIMPLE, easy to understand Its benefits are as follows: FOR INDIVIDUALS: FOR BUSINESSES: FOR THE COUNTRY: Check out Gravel’s EXCELLENT YouTuber on the FairTax here: (Pay attention right at the end – THAT’s the PRICELESS truth of the matter.) |

The Fair Tax is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. It has absolutely zero chance of ever being enacted. And Gravel is a bad joke. |

And might I say of you, as demonstrated by your “tale” (posting): An Idiot told by a tale, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. (Any idiot can sit around chanting “change is futile.” Even the guy holding the sign at a freeway exit ramp, stating “Will work for food,” is getting up off his ass – which is probably what you should be doing. Get away from that computer; do something productive.) |

I’m not the one who spent 1000 words defending a joke of a proposal by that Nobel-winning economist NeAL Boortz. |

I’m not the only one less than impressed. From Mises.org (that’s a real libertarian organization (as opposed to Boortz’s faux version):

The first step toward fighting tyranny (covert taxation; irresponsible spending) is to define the fraud. The FairTax exposes the taxing function to the “light of day” – the citizens will be able to “get the message” and will be empowered to go on to demand changes to GOVERNMENT’S behavior – rather than vice versa. As things stand now, politicians use the income tax to divert citizen against citizen: rich against poor, special interest against the indifferent. FairTax is but the FIRST step toward re-empowering the wage-earner (ALL taxpayers) and removing tyrannical power from the politicians. Now, that isn’t so incomprehensible, is it?
