Boortz: Politicians Taking Serious Note of FairTax
Neal Boortz is on vacation this week, but sent this in for inclusion in today’s Nuze:
My friends, you have no idea of the impact that The FairTax Book is having on our elected officials in Washington. Officials at the highest levels are expressing their surprise to Congressman Linder of the success of the book, and you can believe that they are ready to take some action.
While on vacation I’m writing some items to clarify portions of the book — and I hope to have them posted in the Nuze by Thursday. In the meantime, if you haven’t yet bought or ordered The FairTax Book, please do so. The link above will take you to amazon.com or see if your local book store has any left.
Hey ..I’m not trying to pad my own pockets here. I’ve already told you that my royalties age going 100% to charity, including a rather large check to the Red Cross for Katrina relief. My interest here is in promoting a tax reform plan that I sincerely believe will bring about a positive change in the life of virtually every American, except, perhaps, for the K Street lobbyists who have been making hundreds of thousands a year gaming the present tax system for their clients.
The longer we keep The FairTax Book up near the top of The New York Times Bestsellers List, the more attention we get in Washington DC, and the greater the chance that HR 25 is going to get serious consideration in Washington.
Last weekend I was sitting in a restaurant near the west coast. At the next table was a man I knew to be well connected in Washington and Hollywood. (Not mentioning names here.) I actually overheard him telling his luncheon guests about the FairTax! The word is getting around, my friends, and politicians are finding this movement harder and harder to ignore.
As soon as I’m back off vacation I’ll be heading out for more book signings. One week from Saturday I’ll be at the Republican Leadership Conference at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island. I’m told that almost every Republican with presidential aspirations will be there.
When I get up before that group to make my presentation on The FairTax I want to be able to tell them that the book is still right up there at the top of the list. The books that are sold between now and Monday afternoon will make the difference ... so you know what to do.
I am for FairTax,Boortz I listen to you every chance I have, you rock.
