That's the message from Bob Barr, not John McCain. In a recent press release, Barr sets forth his goal, leaving open the idea of the Fair Tax, a flat income tax, or some other means of eliminating the absurdity of the current tax structure in the US. That's a fundamentally conservative concept that John McCain can't be trusted to adopt, let alone follow through on. A vote for Bob Barr sends a message to the GOP that certain ideas cannot be compromised and one of those ideas is a commitment to simplifying and reducing the federal tax burden on the average American. McCain goes on about earmarks--and, make no mistake, earmarks are an outrage--but earmarks are a tiny part of the fiscal problem in a government that spends too much money on bloated bureaucracies like the Department of Education and takes too much money from the average working taxpayer.
The candidate who will truly reduce government, lower taxes and increase freedom is Bob Barr, and a vote for him sends the message to the Republican Party that John McCain is completely unacceptable on all three counts.

I agree with changing our tax structure. The problem I see is that when this and other important issues are brought up, They are not explained with the right words. When you use the words FAIR TAX most American's don't like that. They think that the rich need to pay more than everyone else. It's unfortunate but it is true. If you come up with different descriptive words and explain the ideas with very simple terms and all the positives versus what we have now, American's might be more open to the idea. Communication is the key. Most American's are not going to take the time to study the issues, they expect the leaders to communicate it to them. If they don't understand what you are trying to say they will not back up the idea. I'll say it again, COMMUNICATION IS THE KEY!!
