We've had a flurry of news coverage and political activity this past week on the Fair Tax plan.http://www.fairtax.org/ In response to a question at a town hall meeting, President Bush said that the idea of a national retail sales tax is worth some attention. John Kerry jumped right in with the absurd statement that "Families already squeezed by rising health care costs, gas costs and college costs would have to carry a whole new tax burden."
Now ... those of you who are familiar with the plan for a national retail sales tax know that Kerry's statement is an absolute lie. Families caught in a financial squeeze would actually end up with more money in their pockets under the Fair Tax plan then they have under our current tax system.
So ... the question is this. Is Kerry simply uninformed about the details of the Fair Tax, or does he know the truth and decided that this would be a good time to demagogue the Fair Tax in order to play the class warfare game
