Mike Huckabee Answers McCain's FairTax Question

[12FlyMe]

Fairtax is goofy shit. Sounds great though.

Read the  answers Huck forgot to give.

Google Fairtax fine print.

[dtvgmedia]

geez it was less then 10 seconds ago that Huck described the rebate  that ensures no family pays taxes on their poverty level spending.

Any one got a Q Tip so that Tim Russert can clean his ears?

[mrgop79]

None of this makes any difference because an income tax on individuals is absolutely illegal at least thats what the supreme court has decided and it has never been overturned.

[12FlyMe]

@mrgop79 not really, they keep sending guys to prison for not paying it.

So it's not absolutely illegal.

But we do need a entire new tax code.

Great question, Senator McCain. Excellent answer, Governor Huckabee. It appears that Russert wasn't listening to the answer, but that's ok. This part of the answer bears repeating, over and over again.

'so called FairTax'......HA!! No tax is fair....but the FairTax is the fairest tax reform system there is!!

Huckabee knows the FairTax, is not afraid to stand up for it and I will be following his hopeful Presidential run for 2012 closely!!

Obama is making things much worse he spends money like its water and makes this country look weak. Huckabee would make a great president hes honest and he would fix are broken economy and make us a stronger country.

@Mr.

CanteenKid, NawwLeans, 12FlyMe, and the 32 other aliases you use.

Your intentionally neglect to mention the fairtax removes the income, corporate income, capital gains, and payroll taxes the feds collects from all city and state spending.

Corporate income and capital gains together have a top marginal rate of 54% on every dollar of after tax profit the investor sees. Replacing all that with a sales tax will lower cost to the government.

[CanteenKid]

Fairtax is PURE bullshit. Its a massive NEW tax (which they hide in fine print) on the government.,

Everything from police departments to the military to NASA to Medicaid -- have to pay massive taxes.

IN fact Fairtax only gets about half its income from "People" these goofy bastards pretend to get half of the revenue FROM the government.

Funny shit -- -and Fairtax said "only people pay taxes" but then pretend this crap.

Check out the fine print.

Its utter fucking nonsense.

[NawwLeans]

The fairtax eliminates nothing you idiot. Its a farce - look up the word farce. Really -- look it up.

Thats what Fairtax is.

Sure -- if it could work like they say, But thats like saying if a Magic Pony can shit gold -- it can't shit gold you moron.

Fairtax has you lunatics believing that the government can pay a huge sales tax TO ITSELF and count that as income,

Bullshit morons.

Read the book page 148 "The federal government itself will become a MAJOR taxpayer."

[12FlyMe]

Fairtax removes nothing -- it adds. It adds 50,000 in sales tax to a 120K medical bill. It adds 500 billion in sales tax to what the Pentagon buys. It adds 500 month sales tax to 1200 month rent.

Just like all sales taxes add cost -- this would add cost. Only, it would be the highest sales tax on earth -- and it would be on things like rent, medical care, even the space shuttle, for NASA. Its a bunch of nonsense, utter nonsense.

Great video, thanks for sharing. I'm a fairtax supporter which led to my support for Huckabee. Gosh I hope he's McCain's VP!

[cavepilot]

Tim Russert needs to LISTEN and not ask a question that Huckabee answered 30 seconds ago.

Maybe Russert was just trying to reemphasize the point that Americans pay a great number off hidden taxes that are embedded in the goods we buy.

[denimblueindigo]

My family will vote Huckabee. Myself, my wife and my son, who is in Iraq.

[omgomg53]

Americans are too smart to waste their vote on someone like the clownish Huckabee.  Huckabee, go away.

[onehawtmama]

omgomg53 - Go away Huckabee... You dont believe in freedom of speech?
