Just last night, I was watching online clips of John Stossel's new show, and came across this. I felt like I was floating on cloud nine. I could hardly believe my ears. I'm totally unacquainted with this fair tax proposal, but, as far as I can tell, it sounds like an idea that has come of age. It benefits the poor, benefits the rich, benefits businesses and actually makes sense. Of course, I can't fathom for one moment that any politician will advocate or even consider anything that's logical or sounds “fair,” but it is nice to fantasize. And that's precisely what this is – fanciful thinking. But wow, what a fantasy. Please, don't wake me up until my dream is over.
