If you haven't checked into the Fair Tax plan, it's time. With all that is going on this year it probably won't get much attention, but it should. I had read the original book describing it, but it was a little heavy to get through. The new book "Fair Tax: The Truth" (subtitled "Answering the Critics") is easier to read and very convincing. The first rush of attention is over and it seems like it will be hard to get enough people interested, especially with the election taking most of the space, but, hopefully, after the election is over, there will be another surge. I can't imagine Congress passing it. I can't imagine enough people getting excited about it to push it. It will take a minor miracle. But we can hope. There is a bill before Congress (HR 25) and I assume John Linder will bring it up again and again.
