Or perhaps I should say, "Less of this one, please." Or how about just, "None of them. Ever again. Please....For the Love of God." Sunshine State Poll: Grayson In Trouble The latest Sunshine State/VSS poll shows controversial Democratic incumbent Alan Grayson trailing former state Senator Dan Webster by seven points, 43 percent to 36 percent. A majority of respondents -- 51 percent -- disapprove of the job that Grayson is doing. Independents have an unfavorable view of him as well, by a 36/47 margin. Grayson has ignored the conventional wisdom that a freshman should be a quiet member who carefully tends to the home fires. The latest controversy involves his " Taliban Dan " advertisement, where he explicitly compares his opponent to the Taliban, and shows a clip of Webster paraphrasing Ephesians 5:22 -- "wives, submit to your husbands."

Also, a BOOYAH! Hell ya!

Problem with this video: what Johnson does NOT say is that he wants to replace all of those taxes with the "Fair Tax" consumption tax, supposedly revenue neutral.
It may or may not be, but I had the same concern as to why he didn't give the rest of his usual spiel and say what he was going to do instead.
And Johnson's "fair tax" is regressive no matter how you slice it. On a percentage basis, higher-income people tend to spend less of their income than lower-income people.
And your question "But what good is income without spending it?" is silly. Did you ever hear of investing?
You should look a little closer before you claim that the Fair Tax "is regressive no matter how you slice it." Although this graph does rise less steeply above a million dollars, there is no way it can be described as anything other than progressive.
And your question, "Did you ever hear of investing?" is even sillier. You look at the surface of things, but rarely follow through to consider their consequences.
It would be impossible to invest money if nobody was going to spend that money.
See how that works anonone?
