Bin Laden Comes Out in Favor of a Flat Tax

He's also apparently more in touch with the problems of real people than the Administration, Congress, Big Business, Wall Street and Larry Kudlow (those groups are redundant).

Maybe Osama can work for Steve Forbes' campaign if Forbes ever runs for President again.

He [Bin Laden] also speaks to recent issues grabbing headlines in the United States, referring to "the reeling of many of you under the burden of interest-related debts, insane taxes and real estate mortgages; global warming and its woes..."

"To conclude," bin Laden says, "I invite you to embrace Islam." He goes on to say: "There are no taxes in Islam, but rather there is a limited Zakaat [alms] totaling 2.5 percent.”

So it's been six years now and this guy is still not vaporized. Huh?

In the 2008 budget we're spending over $700 million a year on "defense", and we still can't (or rather won't) get this S.O.B.

Once again, heckuva job Bush Administration!
