Slipping off of his front-runner mantle, Mitt Romney needed to find a way to get back on top and generate some enthusiasm. To achieve this, he turned to one thing: Our tax code. Mitt Romney says that he wants a tax system that is flatter, and fairer and simpler. Today before the debate, Romney will announce a bold tax reform plan.
The FairTax? Oh yeah … sure. I’m sorry, but Romney hasn’t shown the courage in this campaign that it would take to bring the FairTax to center stage. At least Romney has gotten the memo: Americans want bold solutions, especially when it comes to our asinine tax system.
I know the FairTax. I know how Americans react to and how excited they become about the FairTax. I know how easy it is to debunk objections to the FairTax. I also know that if any of these leading candidates, Gingrich, Romney or Santorum, had embraced and promote the FairTax at the beginning of their campaigns they would be in a commanding lead right now and Democrats would be running for the hills.
