As Dobbs Prepares for Air, Hate Group Holds Own Feet to Fire

2008-09-11T21:25:51Z

From America's Voice Online:

That's right, hold onto your hats, the Lou-natics © (TV pundit Lou Dobbs aficionados) and anti-immigrant activists are at it again. This time, however, they're directing their vitriol… at themselves?

Let's back up.

A recognized hate group, the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) has been busy rallying its army of anti-immigrant activists to descend upon our nation's Capitol this week as part of its annual 'Hold their Feet to the Fire' Lobby Days. The group's 'HTFTTF' (worst acronym ever?) Lobby Days promise to be a big draw for Lou-natics©, grumpy retirees, and folks who just can't seem to keep their fingers off the Caps Lock key (if I say ILLEGAL ALIEN in all caps, it's even scarier!), alike.

In fact, today 'HTFTTF' Lieutenant General Lou will host the CNN 'Lou Dobbs Tonight' show live from the FAIR grounds, alongside Radio DJ's that have been imported from across the country to drive home an extremist, anti-solution message on immigration.

Steve Forbes Argues for a Flat Tax

Forbes Magazine Editor-In-Chief and two-time Republican Presidential candidate Steve Forbes slams U.S. tax codes as inefficient and overly complicated, and argues for the implementation of a national "flat tax" to replace the current system.

-----

Leading economic prognosticator, Steve Forbes says the upcoming presidential election is the most critical since 1980. At that time, Ronald Reagan defeated incumbent Jimmy Carter, ushering in dramatic new policies that would set the course of this country for the next quarter-century.

What course does Forbes believe the country should take to end the current credit crisis? Will he promote a flat tax, medical savings accounts and a new Social Security system as he did for his 1996 and 2000 presidential platforms?

Join us as we discuss what's next for the U.S. economy - The Commonwealth Club of California

Mitt Romney: Town Hall 12/14/07

2008-08-28T16:47:09Z

Mitt Romney
Town Hall
Carroll, IA 12/14/07

TRANSCRIPT:
QUESTIONER: "I know that Governor Huckabee has supported the FAIR Tax. I have one follow up, do you support that or not? I understand that is a national sales and use tax.

MITT ROMNEY: Yeah, it has a lot of good elements to it. It is not part of my presidential platform and I'll tell you a couple of reasons why. One, I would like to uhh, thoroughly understand what its implications would be for seniors and for middle income folks. I do not want to raise taxes on middle income Americans. So I want to understand that thoroughly. Two, I want to get immediate action to encourage economic growth. And one of the aspects of the FAIR tax is it would require a complete restructuring of our entire tax system and probably a constitutional amendment. And as you know, getting the Democratic Congress to amend our constitution and to eliminate the income tax and then to get three-quarters of the states to do the same thing, would take a long time. So I'm instead proposing immediately we take off the tax on savings.

QUESTIONER: Uhh ok, that's good. I agree with you. The other thing, Huckabee talks about a 23 cent national sales tax. And everything I say, or read, says that 30 cents up to be revenue neutral. So I think you're right.

ROMNEY: And, uh, you know. We ought be...Truth in, Truth in lending here, as they say, is important. Which is, which is this is how they calculate the percentage. If something costs a dollar today, and you're probably, you're pretty good at math. This takes most of us a second to think about. If something costs a dollar today, after the FAIR tax, it would, a 30 cent tax would be put on top of it, which is a dollar thirty. But 30 cents is only 23% of a dollar thirty. So they call it a 23% tax. So it is either a 30% tax or a 23% tax depending on what's in the denominator. If anybody followed that, it has not been long since you were out of school."

John McCain: Speech 01/03/07

2008-07-02T17:52:41Z

John McCain
Town Hall Meeting
Rock Rapids, IA

TRANSCRIPT:
QUESTIONER: "Governor Huckabee has been going around that if he's elected president that he will eliminate the IRS? [...] Secondly, religion has become very much involved in your politics. If you get to be president, the question has arisen about pastors and ministers encouraging who to vote for. Would you see it to that they lose their tax status."
[...]

JOHN MCCAIN: "And frankly the attacks that Governor Romney has unleashed on him. I just don't think the people of Iowa like to see all these negative attacks. Governor Romney is doing the same thing to me in New Hampshire. A whole deluge of attack ads. That's been his history."
[...]
"[Gov. Huckabee] has embraced the FAIR tax. I believe that, if you really scrutinize it, according to the Wall Street Journal there's some real downsides to that."
[...]
"As far as the influence of the Christian Right...I've always said that if you think there's some inordinate influence on our party...And elect candidates that more closely reflect your views. I think the Republican Party is a big tent party. There's room for all of us and I hope everyone will be engaged."

McCain to 14-yr-old Girl: Fair Pay Act Wouldn't Help Women

2008-10-12T22:42:00Z

www.pfaw.org Sen. John McCain, at a 5/7/08 town hall event in Michigan, singled out a girl wearing a t-shirt critical of him and challenged her to ask him a question. She asked about the Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, which would have corrected the Supreme Court's destructive ruling in Ledbetter v. Goodyear: "I was wondering Senator McCain why you had the opportunity to vote to give equal rights to women equal pay [but] you didn't show up to vote and you said that if you did you wouldn't support it."

"This question should be on the minds of millions of working women who may face pay discrimination during their careers," said Kathryn Kolbert, president of People For the American Way. "Senator McCain had the perfect opportunity to embrace equal pay for equal work, but he instead parroted talking points fed to him by corporate lobbyists. It's pretty clear from his response that he's more concerned about the rights of big corporations than those of everyday Americans."
