Only a few in Washington recognize they are facing a taxpayer revolt that is taking the form of an idea developed by a radio talk show host and a US congressman. The energy of the tea parties and the advocates for the so-called “Fair Tax” are beginning to join forces and if they are able to get traction, the politicrats are going to lose the mighty power they wield with the federal income tax code. The Fair Tax is a national sales tax that would replace the federal income tax.

One organizer in Missouri started out to have a statewide Fair Tax rally — that grew into a major event forcing them to have to move from a small park to the Boone county fairgrounds in Columbia, Missouri when their expected crowd swelled to over 30,000 supporters from around the nation. The rally organizer, Colin Malaker, says that the creators of the Fair Tax, Georgia Congressman John Linder and radio talk show host Neal Boortz, announced they would address the crowd that will assemble June 13 that started as a Missouri gathering and became a Midwest event that is attracting people from all over the nation. The interesting thing about this event is that among the speakers are several Missouri state legislators -- both Democrat and Republican.
