Very interesting, it was though...Enjoyed your post. Very interesting, it was thoughtful and provided a different perspective from my own. Huckabee appeals to two types of voters; those that listen to his band music and the Fair Tax group.<BR/><BR/>The problem is that with a downturning economy, Huckabee scares economic conservatives. He talks about firing the 150,000 IRS employees in one swipe. Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of small businesses providing tax services. The USA only created 43,000 jobs in November of 2007. Huckabee fails to mention the 23% consumption tax on everything you buy. That includes healthcare. Can you afford a 23% increase in your healthcare?<BR/>His reason for supporting the so called “Fair” tax is that it would bring the “bad folks” into the system. The issue there is that the “bad folks” are a tiny percentage of the US population and the middle class will actually pick up the burden.<BR/>Look, I am a student with student loans, three kids and a wife, I pay an effective tax rate of 7%! Huckabee would give me a 15% tax increase - I cannot afford that. Finally, economists estimate the “Fair Tax” would need to be closer to 50% in order to remain revenue neutral!!!<BR/>Just imagine the black market that will kick up in the US of A. A vote for Huckabee is a vote to put 150,000 people out of jobs right off the bat. That’s a big NO for me. Huckabee is not the responsible choice for economic conservatives.Fleeting_Thoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03443223126526616704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388065535107854567.post-88865427397915330282008-01-20T16:28:00.000-05:002008-01-20T16:28:00.000-05:00Larry,It may be "old news" but it is more in depth...Larry,<BR/>It may be "old news" but it is more in depth.

From what I have heard, he is not for it, and has been opposed to some of the stupid DHS schemes that rob American Citizens of their liberties.
