| | Paul J. Gessing on FairTax, Tax Reform, Inez Tenenbaum, and Jim DeMint on NRO Financial |
 | | Inez Tenenbaum, the Democratic party’s choice for the open Senate seat for South Carolina, has chosen to make tax reform, specifically her opposition to it, the centerpiece issue of her candidacy. |
 | | Tenenbaum and Democratic critics of the FairTax are simply being disingenuous in labeling Jim DeMint a “tax hiker.” Rep. DeMint has proven himself to be a great friend of taxpayers, having received “A” grades on the National Taxpayers Union’s comprehensive fiscal scorecard in four of his five years in office. |
 | | In the parlance of today’s youth, Tenenbaum is just being a “hater.” She is more than willing to put someone else’s ideas down, and in the process she is hoping to focus attention away from her own past votes to increase taxes and her lack of a viable alternative. |
