   Unless you have been living under a rock you have probably heard of a tax reform plan called the FairTax. Rep. John Linder (R., Ga.) along with 65 co-sponsors in the house has introduced HR-25, The FairTax act of 2007. This bill has created quite a stir in the recent months.

At present six Republican presidential candidates, and one Democrat, have endorsed the plan. Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee’s endorsement of the Fair Tax played well among the crowd and brought him a second place finish in the Republican Iowa straw poll several weeks ago. In addition, the GOP’s newest candidate, Fred Thompson, has said that he would sign the bill if it were passed by Congress.

Where’s The Republic?

Republic vs. Democracy

Rule by Law or Mob Rule

We Can’t Be Both

Benjamin Rush said on the ratification of the Constitution on July 9, 1788 “Tis done, we have become a nation.” And just after the completion and signing of the Constitution, Benjamin Franklin replied to a woman’s inquiry as to the type of government the Founders had created, “A Republic, if you can keep it.”

Sorry Ben, we have failed to keep it.

Et Tu, Kellogg’s? Take another bite out of Freedom.

I heard the most ridiculous thing today. Two obviously socialist, anti-capitalist groups called the Center for Science in the Public Interest and the Campaign for a Commercial Free Childhood along with two Massachusetts parents had threatened to take the cereal company Kellogg’s to court. They intended to bring a lawsuit concerning the Battle Creek Michigan based breakfast food’s advertising practices.
