America: Freedom to Fascism

@sproc

History tells us laws almost always slide toward bad “what if’s.” We might as well start calling them “when’s” not “if’s.” So the choice is not between an intrusive income tax and a hopefully-benign sales tax; it is between an intrusive income tax and an intrusive sales tax. I still think the sales tax is too dangerous. Does anybody honestly think the government won’t use it to discourage “incorrect” behavior?

On the other hand, people I respect are for it. And I suppose even if it only took a few years for it to turn evil, we’d at least have those few years of bliss. But I truly fear what would happen after that.

I might even give that book a try. Maybe there is a way to do this thing the right way.

FYI, Boortz is coming out(this year?) with a new book called something like: “The Fairtax, Answering the Critics.”
