The South will rise again! Mr. Allan Burns is challenging John Linder for the U.S. House of Representatives seat from the 7th District of Georgia. As Mr. Linder is the purveyor of the snakeoil like tax bill, the so-called FairTax, this will be an uphill battle. I want to take apart this bill that has been proposed on the floor of the House as H.R. 25. While I am collecting information from around the web, I wanted to open this discussion to all of my new friends in this community that I met at the First Annual YearlyKos Convention. Help me disseminate and parse every line of this bill to show the absolute fallacy that this bill represents.
John Linder co-wrote the Fair Tax Book with a Republican Conservative Radio talk show host on the air in the local Atlanta Market. His name is Neal Boortz, a veritable clone of Rush Limbaugh, although no evidence of drug use exists in Mr. Boortzs' case. They are currently holding and planning rallies in support of their plan to destroy the financial integrity of this Nation. In the last rally of its type over 2,500 people were turned away and those who were allowed to enter were given information that has since been debunked by the Presidents Commission on Tax Reform, Chapter Nine, which is available online. With this many people being turned away and a capacity crowd allowed entry there is a great deal of false and disinformation in this district, and I assume around the country.
Help me parse every sentence of this book/House bill. There is no reason to allow continuous streams of disingenuous information to be spewed forth by our elected politicians. The words of Conservative radio hosts should not be parroted by elected office holders on the floor of the House, afterall Bill Frist doesn't turn to Rush Limbaugh or his ilk for help writing pieces of Senate legislation. More to come and I look forward to reading your comments.
