Lying Liars and the Liars who believe them

From the Drudge Report:

The Speaker of the House wrote in his new book that he will push for the elimination of the IRS and a national sales tax.

So many issues with this, I just found it hilarious. For those of you too dumb to check it:

1. This is just prr-information released from a book being released on Wednesday. I will not reveal the name of the book, nor the author's name (if you know who the Speaker of the House is, or read the article, you'll know) due to the sleaziness factor involved with this sensational revelation.

2. Why is this the first time we've heard of this?

3. Will it ever pass? Well, only the purchases of the wealthy will be taxed, not their income. So, they'll remain wealthy. Perhaps it will pass. And, I see the monkey crawling out of my ass now.

Who believes this shit? It is idealistic, but highly doubtful. It is meant to attract the democrats who are want the taxes to reflect the wealth or the people, and the libertarians who hate government. It would probably also include internet purchase taxes.
