With all due respect (and as a Cathol...Fr. Malloy,<br /><br />With all due respect (and as a Catholic, I sincerely mean that), please do not incite a panic over HR-4646 by not accurately presenting all of the facts. As you are a priest, I will assume your intent was not to be untruthful, but your presentation of HR-4646 is incomplete and misleading. HR-4646 was not, as you stated, introduced by US Reps Peter DeFazio and Tom Harkin. HR-4646 does call for the introduction of the new "transaction tax" as you've correctly stated, but also calls for the elimination of the personal income tax. So it is completely misleading to tell people that this is another tax on top of all the taxes you already pay.<br /><br />I personally think HR-4646 is a terrible, terrible idea, and as such it seems to be receiving no support from others in congress (no co-sponsors have stepped forward, indicating this is a dead-on-arrival proposal). I will make sure that my congressman hears from me that I do not support this bill, but I will be providing complete facts and not just emotion.<br /><br />Please, please, in the name of fairness, present complete facts rather than launching off into "Obama is out to get us all" chain emails. Intellect is one of the greatest gifts God has given to all of us, and we worship Him every time we engage in a civil discussion/debate on issues.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
