The United States Government Should Not Aid Myanmar
Though any American is certainly welcome to contribute to the relief effort in Myanmar, no one should be forced to do so via his taxes or otherwise. It is a myth that there would not be sufficient aid to Myanmar without the government being involved in some way. Although I don't often agree with President Bush, he was certainly correct when he recently remarked that "the American people are generous people and they're a compassionate people." FULL ARTICLE
More on the FairTax
Now online is my article from the May 12 issue of The New American, "Is Making Taxes 'Fair' the Answer?" This comprehensive article on the problems with the FairTax is not based on a Boortz book, although I think I mentioned him once or twice.
There Is Still No Such Thing As a Fair Tax
Although I believe that taxation is theft, I would gladly support any tax reform plan as long as it substantially lowered tax rates or the total amount of taxes collected. I am not a critic of the FairTax because it doesn't do enough; I am a critic of the FairTax because it cannot be considered an incremental step toward lower tax rates or lower overall taxes. It is not even a step in the right direction. The FairTax is a cure worse than our diseased income tax system. FULL ARTICLE
