Super conservative Rep. Ron Paul (R-Tex.) has a column this week on taxes in general and the Fair Tax in particular. This is an issue that can appeal to everyone on the political spectrum as the income tax has become a bane to everyone from small business owners to those protesting war spending.

"fairtax"
Submitted on April 30th, 2007 by jeremy brREPEAL THE 16TH AMENDMENT
Submitted on February 22nd, 2007 by Ronald DevalThe current Tax "system" is intentionally complicated so that the average tax-payer cannot figure out how to get back the dollars that their employer has withheld during the year. The Fair Tax system is fair because the burden of accumulating the money that is needed to run the country will be SHARED by everyone, including those who come to this country as visitors and buy goods and services that they need while they are here. Thank you Mr. Gravel for bringing this issue to the forefront. I am a Canadian, with a Green Card since 1974, and I am completely in favor of the repeal of the 16th Amendment. Every tax-payer should go to www.fairtax.org now and register and support any candidate who "sees the light"!

IRS/UNFAIR
Submitted on February 22nd, 2007 by chadsgsrTo hear Mike Gravel speak about Fair Tax really shows the type of man he is. This is very important in the lives of many Americans. After years of unfair tax by the IRS its time for change that will give our children a better education, give our sick a way to heal, and our elders to be a way to afford to live when they (I) retire.
He has won over the heart of this republican and I hope to here about other issues like illegal immigration.
"Mike, thanks for speaking up ."
An important issue
Submitted on October 24th, 2006 by grothenbergerThis is an important issue for me, one of two I feel very strongly about. As Senator Gravel is the first (and so far, only) major party candidate to embrace the Fair Tax, I'm strongly inclined to support him.
If you haven't read the FairTax Book I encourage you to do so.
