THE FAIRTAX AND MIKE HUCKABEE

The Oregonian had a large article reprinted from the New York Times regarding Mike Huckabee and his “Electability – Let me count the ways”. They counted everything about him except for his support of the FairTax. The FairTax has always been a staple in his speeches and this David Brooks writer didn’t even mention it!

I know the politicians are afraid of the FairTax. It will remove a lot of their powers over us. But is the Media afraid also? And if so, why? The FairTax would benefit so many people.

I am including my letter to the Editor of the Oregonian for you to read, since it may never see print in the big “O”:

To the Editor:

David Brooks’ article about Mike Huckabee was great, but it left out the most important aspect of his campaign – the FairTax. Mr. Huckabee is the only candidate among Republicans and Democrats who consistently talks about the FairTax. Some of the other candidates mouth it, but Huckabee lives it.

The FairTax is a bill in committee (HR25 & S1025) to replace the income tax, to fix the Social Security & Medicare systems before they go broke, to allow taxpayers to take home 100% of their income, and many more amenities.

The most important “fix” would be to give back control to the people. And that is exactly why you won’t see many politicians in favor of the FairTax. It takes away their control of us and removes the control of their lobbyists. Mike Huckabee isn’t afraid to empower his voters. He has my vote.

Well, I just gave my first campaign contribution to Mike... he is trying to reach a goal by the end of the month. Copy and paste this link to see his progress:

As you all probably know, Mike is very frugal with contributions and his a great steward of what God has blessed him with. But as the hack articles are released by desperate opponents who fear him winning, he will need more of our financial backing, please help in anyway you can. No contribution is too small.

Hi Nathaniel, it's nice to see such unabashed support for Mike Huckabee. He is a very sincere supporter of the FairTax. A good place to make your contribution. You are in good company.
