The FairTax is a fraud. Yet Boortz ties rejection of the FairTax to believing that America is a great country because of its government, "as so many politicians do." Politicians who oppose the FairTax do so because they "thrive on dependency."

The antidote to the fraud of the FairTax is a good dose of the wisdom of Murray Rothbard: "There can be no such thing as 'fairness in taxation.' Taxation is nothing but organized theft, and the concept of a 'fair tax' is therefore every bit as absurd as that of 'fair theft.'"

Boortz believes that the abolition of the income tax will make the bad day of April 15 "just another beautiful spring day." With its unsubstantiated claims, ridiculous lies, and numerous problems, the FairTax will ensure that everyday is a bad day, not just April 15.

You know, I can certainly sympathize with the desire to do away with taxes altogether and I know that the Federal Government can certainly perform the tasks it's Constitutionally mandated to perform without the Income Tax or most other taxes, relying solely on existing tariffs and usage fees. In an idea world, sure.

Unfortunately, the reality is that we do have entitlement programs, we do have big government, we do have wasteful spending and we do have corrupt politicians beholden to the lobbyists who've created a tax code that can't be understood by people whose full-time job it is to do so.

I'm sorry there's no tax proposal out there to fix all that. There is one that'll make things incrementally better and simpler. The "fix-everything-or-nothing" approach simply doesn't work.
