Did you know only ONE Republican candidate for governor supports the EPIC Consumption Tax?

As someone who, myself, has been trying to learn more about the EPIC Consumption Tax proposed by Senator Erdman and scheduled to be addressed at the state capitol next week, I was somewhat gobsmacked when I realized that of the nine candidates for governor, only ONE of them (that I know of) supports Erdman's legislative resolution. Several candidates do support having a consumption based tax, but not as proposed in LR264CA. When I made the video, I wasn't sure where Pillen stood on the issue (because he doesn't attend debates), but I did look on his website, and it appears that I was correct in assuming that he is not a supporter of the EPIC Consumption Tax.

Anyway, as the video shows, I have more questions than answers. As it stands now, I would not oppose LR264CA because what is being debated is whether or not this issue should be put on the ballot for the voters to decide. But I do think that there are a lot of things about it to ponder. And, why, out of nine candidates for governor, has the EPIC consumption tax plan garnered support from only of one of them?
