re: #535 Killgore Trout

The problem is that “normal” conservatives are starting to take Ron Paul’s economics seriously. That’s why you see so many “abolish the Fed” (code for gold standard) and “Fair tax” signs at Tea party protests. Even “normal” conservative bloggers like instapundit and Hot Air are entertaining these ideas now. Their readers seem to approve of these ideas.

The fair tax was NOT invented by Ron Paul. It makes a lot of sense and would go a long way to stimulate the economy.

We’ve had this conversation before Kilgore, and you were not even willing to entertain the idea, because suddenly Ron Paul had a fair tax platform, too.
