The sales tax idea isn't Huckabee's invention. It was developed by a group called Americans for Fair Taxation, and it has already been written into a bill sponsored by Georgia congressman John Linder.
Conservative talk radio host Neal Boortz has helped turn it into a grassroots cause, and his FairTax Book, which he co-wrote with Linder, briefly held the No. 1 spot on the New York Times non-fiction best seller list.
This is an idea we will be hearing more about as the campaign continues. I am for the elimination of the IRS and replacing it with....NOTHING. Cut my taxes!!!!!
