Taxes - It's Time For A Change

Yesterday our investment club met. One of our members asked about what everyone thought about Huckabee"s "Fair Tax" plan. Everyone agreed that a simpler tax system is needed. It's amazing how people want a simpler tax system, whether it be a flat rate consumption tax, a flat income tax, or fewer tax brackets with no deductions. Why is it that politicians don't get it? What will it take to get voters really fired up about this issue? And why is Mike Huckabee the only one talking about it?
