Sad. In only 40 years Colorado has changed from a state of rugged individualists & people who were self reliant, to whiny soccer moms and beta males in the majority. Neither group has the backbone to be rugged or individualistic and most definitely not self reliant. This is what happens when rich Northeasterners and Californicators are allowed to move in.

The devil is in the details of the Fair Tax, and the negative aspects are what proponents never talk about. They always present it as a panacea. It isn't. Income tax or sales tax it doesn't address the level of taxes which is the real problem. That and governmental waste, fraud, dedundancy and abuse.

Doing away with the 16th Amendment is the good part. The bad part is that the Fair Tax as proposed by all who support the idea keeps government funding at the levels I noted in my original comment and it allows for the increase of the amount of the tax by Congress. Keep in mind that the IRS isn't some entity that exists entirely separate from Congress. Congress writes the tax laws and it will still be doing so under the Fair Tax, just without the IRS as a collection agency.

Sorry, left out the colon after 'teaching'.

The Fair Tax? You've got to be kidding. The Fair Tax maintains the government at the high level that it has been for over 40 years. We need a flat tax that is in the single digits. Starve the beast, not feed it at Clinton/Bush levels. The lesson of this video clip is the same the Founders were 'teaching' governments cannot be trusted. Period. Therefore keep them small and on a very short leash.

Rubio is a fraud and a liar. As for the WSJ, illegals drove down wages and took the low skill jobs away from Americans by accepting lower wages/under the table/off the books payments. The idea that there were/are jobs Americans will not do is false. Employers hired the illegals at lower wages, which begat honest companies hiring illegals in order to stay in business, .which begat more illegals, so on and so forth.

Nothing you say has any credibility anymore Mr. Rubio. Your bill with the gang of 8 is amnesty and we all see that, despite the things you say. You will never, ever get my vote. Stop wasting your time trying going on Rush's show or writing columns here. You are the new McCain- treacherous, dishonest and corrupt. Hopefully you will be primaried for the next election.

Ahh, now the equivocating begins. They are human, he's like Reagan, I wasn't there blah, blah. Thanks for admitting, indirectly, that you went off half cocked USMA. I accept your infallibility and half hearted apology and admission of error. I gotta go now. Talk to you again on another beachead.

Amazing the blind loyalty to 'W'. Of course I condemn the Obama's too. Duh. I didn't watch the entire thing, I couldn't avoid seeing some of it though and it was offensive. Regardless of whether I watched it, the point is it was an ostentatious display put on by, for and about the ruling class. I'm amazed at the irrationality of the responses my comment is getting, but it does explain why the GOP keeps getting statist candidates every four years.

Other than thanking me for my service, you are wrong on all counts. Stop blaming Congress. Isn't that waa waa waaing? Be a man. Act like a Marine. ALL Presidents get credit and blame for what happens on their watch. Like a ship's captain. 'W' didn't have to sign Med Part D etc. Lame, Jarhead, lame.
