I have been hearing a number of people (even had visitors searching the search engines on this topic) asking who Dave Ramsey was endorsing for President. So, I decided to make a call to Brentwood, TN and ask the source directly.---
Beth Tallent, Director of Public Relations, said that Ramsey, typically stays out of politics unless it deals directly with finance.
When asked, what his opinion of Mike Huckabee's Fair Tax was, she said that he hasn't addressed Huckabee's Fair Tax, although he has addressed the "Fair Tax" long before Mike Huckabee ever was a candidate. She then promised to get me a quote from Ramsey on the issue.
Below is Dave Ramsey's thoughts on the Fair Tax:“I love the idea of the Fair Tax. The beauty of it is that by in large it’s a voluntary tax. If you don’t want to pay the tax, don’t buy something. I bought a car not long ago, and there’s a tax on that car when we record the title in the state of Tennessee where I live. And if I didn’t want to pay the tax, I didn’t buy the car. But when I bought the car, I knew the tax went with it. And that’s part of the thing. But it’s a voluntary tax and I like that part of it.”
So there you have it. No endorsement from Ramsey, but he does seem to like the idea of the Fair Tax.
go ahead share your thoughts with me now, my ears are open. I'm always eager to hear what you think.
