Sam;

wouldn't mind if Huckabee was the Republican candidate because I don't think he would stand a chance against any of the front running Democrats

Have you listened to him? He has that touch of being able to "connect" with people. It's a gift. Be careful for what you wish for.

As to a sales tax;
I live in Washington State. We have a state sales tax and no state income tax. Food and medical expense are exempt - so most of the necessities of life are tax free. People never have to mess with state taxes - records for instance. On all other things they buy the sales tax is 8% plus. IOW, the more you consume - they more you pay. What is wrong for that in an over consuming nation? Our economy here is booming. Microsft, Boeing, Starbecks and Amazon are just a few of the businesses that flourish here. And rich guys don't have loopholes!
