...simple answer to our tax-system chaos is to abolish the IRS and adopt the Fair Tax. If everyone "who stays in America pays for America," there would be no reason to fund bloated federal bureaucracies to pursue tax scofflaws. Every person would pay 23% on every new car, suit, pair of shoes, radio or home. In return, individuals and companies would pay no income tax. With no disincentives to earning more, investment would boom. The stronger dollar would also deflate the price of oil, killing two birds with one stone. John P. Kuchta Jr., VIRGINIA BEACH...
...What we're interested in is a fair resolution; we don't think it's fair to seat them fully," Plouffe said. "We're not going to support something that gives her too many delegates? We all last year played by the rules. It was only after the fact when they needed the delegates that they tried to change the rules.

Benfakiah admits that living with restrictions can be frustrating, at times - "It's not fair, but it is something you can get over because this life is not eternal; it is the afterlife that counts...
...opportunity to take an unfair potshot at Sarkozy: The hip culture magazine Telerama cited the fact that he presented the award in person as yet another instance of the notorious admiration of the wealthy and famous that has some calling Sarkozy "the bling-bling President." To be fair, Sarkozy had nothing to do with Dion's selection, which was made in 2005. Nor is there anything new in the Legion inducting honorees whose selection induces a blanching response among people of taste. While professional cynics such Porte lavishly mock a national joke (and Sarkozy pal) such as wrinkled rocker Johnny...
