(APN) LAWRENCEVILLE – Allan Burns, running against the powerful incumbent, US Rep. John Linder (R-GA), in Georgia’s 7th Congressional District, knows he has an uphill battle.

However, Burns’s race is extremely important. US Rep. Linder is a proponent of the national sales tax which would replace all other federal taxes. Linder’s extremist plan would create a disproportionate burden on the poor to finance government, while letting the rich pay only a tiny fraction of their wealth, and possibly bankrupting the federal government. Linder and Right-wing radio talk show host “Neal Boortz” co-authored a book on the subject.
