"Robert, this is a really good article. A good job of responding on Huffington Post as well. It's a challenge to get many people to understand, money is not wealth. It is only a medium of exchange to obtain wealth. …"

Robert Dell commented on Robert Dell's blog post A Fair Tax for Progressives"To Doug Fowler:

Douglas Fowler commented on Robert Dell's blog post The Political Basis for the FairTax"While I understand the risk of being stuck with both the income tax AND a sales tax, I really think that is a risk we should be willing to take.
