This is how good legislation gets trashed. H.R. 25 was introduced fairly quietly a while back and Bush had to get a quick education about it on the campaign trail in order to TRY and talk with any authority on it (of course he never did so). Bush was never behind the Fair Tax until it became a campaign issue. Go and read the legislation (H.R. 25) and tell me how corporations will get their exemptions. Let's not debate what may get attached to the bill or how each side will try and get certain provisions attached, let's debate what we have now versus what has been proposed. It's way too easy to say "Republicans like it, therefore it must be bad." Actually read the document and then we can discuss pros and cons.
