Either Obama or McCain Will Be President if....

Quote from AlpineTrout:

If Obama ever talks about the FairTax, I wouldn't trust him for a nanosecond. It would be all talk for votes. Why would a marxist want to help American companies? Hell, he'd be in his glory to raise the hell out of the capital gains tax.

How anybody could ever want an anti-capitalist for president is beyond me

Oh! I forgot, he's for change!

Pick the lesser of two evils..

1) A young, somewhat inexprienced, welfare state supporting Democrat - Obama

or

2) Someone who supports the war and sending more troops to the Middle East, potentially invading Iran, knows nothing about the economy, horrible temper, extremely wealthy and talks about transparceny but hides his money with his wife Republican - McCain

***excuse the grammar***

Quote from gnome:

And you know... even the promise of a flat tax probably wouldn't do it.

After all the majority of taxpayers aren't bitching about their taxes. Why should they? Most pay waaaaayyyy less than their fair share because a few of us pay waaaayyyy more than our fair share. I think they have us just where they want us.

Exactly. Unfortunately, someone who supports a fair tax system most likely cannot win. Even though it is fair, the majority of voters benefit from the system being unfair.
