Actually, if we can get the Dems to take a serious look at it, the
FairTax has much to offer from their perspective. Unlike the current
system, which places a hidden tax burden of 28.34% on the backs of the
working poor (7.65% FICA plus 22.4% loss of purchasing power of the
remainder of their income), the FairTax truly untaxes the poor.

It will also recover many of the outsourced manufacturing jobs their
union workers are losing.

I would not be a bit surprised to see the Dems rename it and make it
their own.
