America's decline into oblivion doesn't have to be inevitable, but it will be if something drastic isn't done, and soon. Just putting more republican fannies in congressional seats isn't going to cut it, as they have proven themselves to be little better than their democrat counterparts.
One sure way to not just slow or even halt our seemingly inexorable slide into history's already crowded gutter, but to actually reverse it thus ultimately returning this nation to prosperity and global prominence, would be to simply rip out the hideous and confiscatory federal income tax system that is driving our retreat, and replace it with the FairTax.
As I see it, the FairTax is America's last great hope not just for its very survival, but to also return it to being the prosperous and free nation it once was.
I have no doubt that eventually the American people are going to reach the same conclusion.
The only question is, will it be in time?
