I can't seem to have time to do a lot of blog writing, but it ends up I'm still contributing to the web at large. James Taranto (WSJ's Best of the Web, one of my daily reads) has been criticizing the FairTax lately, as well as Mike Huckabee (who is a strong, vocal supporter of the FairTax). On Tuesday he finally gave a list of reasons why he's critical of the FairTax, and over at the FairTax blog I posted a comment about it that they ended up reposting as a post all in itself. I'm flattered. You can read my response and well as take a peek at the original post that quotes Taranto's criticism.

Just about any criticism of the FairTax can be met with a reasoned, logical response. Maybe that's one of the reasons I like it. All Taranto needs is some time with some FairTax supporters who can answer his criticisms.
