STILL ON VACATION ... BUT ....

I just can't resist dropping in some notes from time to time.

First of all ... we here at the Boortz show really do hope that you and your family had a wonderful Christmas Day.  Now don't go nuts on the after Christmas sales; especially if you have already built up a huge credit card balance.  You have what you need ... leave it at that if you can't pay cash.

Enough lecturing.

FAIRTAX

Yes ... I've been reading the columns and editorials that have been appearing in newspapers across the country. Whoever first said that the FairTax would be easy to demagogue sure had it right.   For instance, there's this article by Janet Hook writing in the Los Angeles Times.  In some newspapers this column appeared with the headline "Huckabee Campaigning for 23% Sales Tax."  Now we all know that not all that many people read newspapers anyway .. and many who do only scan the headlines.  Can you imagine what someone would think if they just read that "Huckabee Campaigning for 23% Sales Tax" headline?  Why, it would positively scare them to death!  There is no way in the world an uninformed (government educated) person reading that headline would vote for Huckabee.  Is this intentional or just carelessness?   Is the headline accurate?  As far as it goes, yes.  But it certainly doesn't even begin to cover the story, and this is what we're facing in the fight for this tax revolution.

 In this article Janet Hook wrote that the President's tax reform commission rejected the FairTax.  Did Janet Hook know that the terms of the Executive Order creating this commission prohibited them from considering the FairTax?  If she didn't know that, why not?  Did she just fail to do her job?  Or did she get that line about the tax reform commission from someone else, and just copy it? 

I read another column in the past few days where the FairTax critic said that poor people would have to report their income to the federal government every month.  Where do they come up with this complete nonsense?  Why are so many people writing such absurd things about the FairTax?  Doesn't anyone do any research out there any more? It seems that now when you write a column you just collect a bunch of things others have said on the subject you wish to address and repeat them without any further inquiry. 

I'll have more to say about this when we come back.  In the meantime .. "FairTax, The Truth" will be hitting the book stores on February 12th.  You can order a copy now from Amazon.com.  This is obviously a tough fight.  There are a lot of people out there who have much invested in our current tax system, and it is clear that they are going to fight like hell.  Congressman Linder and I think that you'll find this new FairTax book will answer your questions, and it certainly will give you the ammunition you need to respond to the critics. 

More later.

JAMIE LYNN SPEARS

What a hideous family.  First we go through this Britney nonsense .. now Britney's 16-year-old sister is pregnant.  Hopefully law enforcement is looking into the possibility of bringing child molestation charges against here 19-year-old impregnator.  Anyway .. it was on CNN's "Showbiz Tonight" on December 20th when I heard this idiot host say that after the news of Jamie Lynn's pregnancy "The world will never be the same." 

We are turning into a polytheistic society ... and the gods we worship are the gods of Hollywood. 

Disgusting.

PORK SPENDING 

To us it's pork spending, but to the local communities it's a local elected official bringing home the bacon.  Here's a story which illustrates this idea.  Read it and you'll learn why pork spending is with us to stay.
