A Fair Tax would be great, and like you, I'm hoping we get a new Congress and President too with some real spine to start cutting departments and spending.<br /><br />Keep praying and fighting the good fight.<br /><br />(:D) Best regards...Hawkeye®https://www.blogger.com/profile/15719046062819366641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075358.post-19837517236332828512010-05-09T16:55:14.050-04:002010-05-09T16:55:14.050-04:00Oh yeah and I was going to tell Camojack that I ha...Oh yeah and I was going to tell Camojack that I had a rear wheel come off of a 1985 Ford conversion van while coming into work about 15 years ago. I took a right turn and the left rear wheel just fell off! In this case that axle had one lug broken off and apparently one of the other lug nuts loosened and the wobbling soon caused others to loose and then the holes on the wheel became enlarged enough to pop over the lug nuts that were left intact!<br /><br />Good thing I kept a real spare, I jacked that bad boy up, threw on the spare, managed to get three nuts on and limped the last quarter mile to work. Naturally I had to go buy a few complete lugs and nuts before I could drive that thing again.radarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08009074315229001910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075358.post-92042286512476071842010-05-09T16:48:14.920-04:002010-05-09T16:48:14.920-04:00Hi Jim, you are kicking butt on comment threads!
...Hi Jim, you are kicking butt on comment threads!<br /><br />It would be a great thing in this country if we replaced the IRS with the Fair Tax. The Fair Tax as I understand it exempts vital goods and services such as food and utilities and only taxes non-essential purchases. <br /><br />Imagine what the savings to America if we simply disbanded the EPA and HUD and DEA and fired all the czars followed by the disbanding of the IRS?! What would happen if a Reagan-style President and a 1994 Congress that meant business came together in 2012? Could it be that the Federal government could be shrunk back to more Constitutional levels and local and state governments could take on their expected roles?radarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08009074315229001910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075358.post-61705588134642544402010-04-28T12:23:15.590-04:002010-04-28T12:23:15.590-04:00MKK,
