Hello! I’ve been very interested in the HJR 36 bill on fair tax… I found some great info on http://www.mofairtax.com, but I noticed you didn’t have any recent articles on it. What are the opinions of the reporters on this site? Can someone cover this to open up discussion on it?
Here’s a recent story written by Missourian reporter Spencer Willems:
