One of the more brilliant things I've heard Boortz suggest is to give amnesty to anyone who brings their off shore wealth back to America. He states there is about $3 trillion that is not in our economy because of our burdoneous tax system. The advantage of having it back home, is that it could be put to work in OUR economy.

Speaking of nutcases…I got this description of real nutcases in the mail today.

“…we're going to pass a health care plan written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it,

passed by a Congress that hasn't read it but exempts themselves from it,

to be signed by a president that also hasn't read it and who smokes,

with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes,

all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese,

and financed by a country that's nearly broke.

…What could possibly go wrong?”

I've read the Fair Tax stuff. Not very impressive, but I'm open to reading more. Last Gallup poll I could find via Google had support at 5-6% tops. That does not, by itself, mean it's a bad idea.

But NBortz is a nutcase.

And it actually has some legs (albeit tiny ones) in Congress and large grass roots nation wide.
