I have been a Republican since I register to vote at eighteen. I have to admit, though, that I have not had a lot of reason to support my registered party during the recent past, but Tom Delay might change that a little.

I have seen figures (although I can't find the link) that the tax could need to be closer to 30% rather than 23% because the below the poverty line rebates would produce a revenue deficit. Even at 30%, I would support it.

I think they should allow tax on used goods, though. Allowing pre-owned real property and goods to escape tax would add another level of possible corruption and it would serverly harm the new car industry and other industries that produce good that can be purchased used.

What do you think?
