Back from the Fair Tax Rally in Atlanta

I spent Wednesday night in Atlanta attending the Fair Tax Rally. If you haven't read Neal Boortz and Congressman John Linder's book, "The Fair Tax Book," you should. It's an idea whose time has not only come, its way overdue. The Fair Tax Rally was amazing. 4,500 people (capacity crowd) in the Gwinnett Convention Center, with thousands more turned away at the door. The rally was headlined by Boortz, Congressman Linder, Sean Hannity, Herman Cain, and John Stossel.

Can you imagine thousands and thousands of folks in DC turning out to rally for lower taxes? Yeah, I can't either. Sadly, I think it's because voters in DC have gotten use to high taxes, bloated government, inefficiency and waste. Apathetic DC voters think, "well hell, at least the Mayor's not smoking crack." Worse, they think even if they wanted to change things, they couldn't.

The reality is that we can change things, but it will take a grassroots groundswell of pissed off DC voters to do it.

More on the Fair Tax and how I think it could serve as a blueprint for DC later...
