The Huckster is IN! Here comes 8 months of Baby Jesus Mike pimping the National Sales Tax.

FIRST, I am a Christian. Mike's not "one of us." My faith is personal, and he's not invited.

SECOND, he's been masturbating to the "Fair Tax" (National Sales Tax) on his Facebook page for most of 2015.

Put those two things together and it adds up to a guy who wants to stand in the spotlight, but like human skidmark Dr. Ben or Cruella Deville (Carly Fiorina) , does not have a snowball's chance of occupying the Oval Office.

1. Chic-fil-a for everyone!!!!

2. Great, make the working poor pay more for everything

Dumb-ass.

3. Europe seems to do pretty well with a VAT. Actually pretty much every other industrialized country

has one. It's how they pay for the health care systems they all have and we don't...

[jmowreader]

4. Europe also has income tax

These "fair tax" people want to replace the income tax with a sales tax.

[Recursion]

5. Congress loves using the tax code to tweak behavior too much for that to ever happen

But European taxation is significantly more regressive than American taxation if you include the VAT.
