I am a huge fan of the Fair Tax. It makes every single person buying anything in the good ole USA a tax payer. Even people on vacation from other countries. Our tax sytem is a joke and needs to be trashed.

gonna take alot more than what all the rich folks have to dig us out of this debt we have accrued over the years. what we need is for everyone to reach down pull their head out of their asses and get to work on fixing this busted country and its policies

First things first -- fix the budget deficit. We can't pull out of the hole until we stop digging it.

All of these ideas are just ways to give washington more to spend. We can scheme and devise and argue about ways to fairly tax everyone, but until the spending problem in washington is addressed it's a waste of time - give washington more to spend and they'll spend it, and then cry about needing more "revenue".
