Dick Morris, in his column of November 29, 2007, touched on one aspect of Mike Huckabee's campaign that deserves more attention - Huckabee's support of the Fair Tax as a central theme of his campaign. Huckabee does appeal to socially conservative elements. However his fiscal policies in general, and his support of the Fair Tax in particular, will be the agent that facilitates Huckabee's appeal to voters outside the Christian conservative base.
The Fair Tax represents the only genuine tax reform and garners support from people of all political persuasions once people understand it. Huckabee could be at the start of a favorable upward spiral that consists of educating the public about the Fair Tax and then receiving support from the public he educates.
Dick Morris is to be commended for highlighting Huckabee's performance on fiscal matters and mentioning the Fair Tax.
