FairTax:THE powerful solution to the IRS snooping/harassment problems

You joined Tea Party because you were/are fed-up with Govt abuse...it isn't about 'tea' it is about (unfair) taxation.  FairTax is the ONLY solution currently before Congress (HR-25 Ways/ Means committee (also S-122 in the Senate)...to reform our tax policy.  What does FairTax do for you? 1) It eliminates the IRS (job  #1- repeal the 16th Amendment (which empowered IRS).  We don't need Fed agents harassing us, probing us & denying us Constitutional rights.  2) Allows you to keep your whole paycheck (no Fed deductions); 3) Lowers the prices in the marketplace (eliminates all the Fed 'hidden' taxes).  4) Pays you $220(+)/Mo  for being an American head/household, & pays your spouse the same amount; PLUS $75(+)/mo per dependent child in your home.                                                                                                                       Wow...how can they do all that? 1) Broader tax base...23% rate on all new goods (assessed on the real value, not the current inflated value); 2) Monthly payments via each state (minus a small processing fee), paid to Feds every month...eliminates cumbersome bureaucracy & obtrusive policing (all so transparent).  You may think that 23% is high...but, remember that currently, those hidden taxes =22% on average, will be removed before the 23% goes into effect.

Here's the math: You buy $1000 worth of goods today (currently); 22% of that is 'hidden' taxes =$780 of pre-tax cost, now assess 23% on that=$780x.23=$179.40 (tax), totals to $780+179.40=$959.40...a savings of $40.60 to you, compared to today!  That isn't all...USED goods are tax exempt under FairTax (they were already taxed when they were new)...that includes big ticket items like houses, cars, major appliances, etc.

Why FairTax? As you've seen (above); you keep your whole paycheck; market prices are lower (in effect); you get the generous monthly pre-bates; used-goods=tax-exempt; PLUS, the business climate favors start-ups; expansion; & relocation from abroad...yielding more job opportunities.  And the Govt actually gets more revenue in the process!  It's your money!  Time to let your Reps know you mean to collect it!

Woodrow Wilson did not remove political favoritism, injustice or corruption from the Govt process; he merely shifted it to his favor.  Mr Davis was not specific on any of this.  Here are the specifics: The 16, 17 & 18th Amendments (which thankfully, was repealed); The Federal Reserve; The League of Nations (which now is UN) which is currently after our national sovereignty, was extremely corrupt, a cause for the invasion of Iraq.  Wilson never proffered the idea of Term Limits (which could have shortened the Great Depression)...an idea of preventing career politicians.

Wilson did a lot to remove political favoritism, injustice and corruption from governmental process. I take it you prefer a spoils system that diverts tax dollars to private supporters of candidates rather than a professionally run government?

Govt was never intended to be a static mass (that is why we have elections).  Policy is determined by policy makers.  If you are truly a member of the Tea Party, you know the power of people standing up in the Town Hall meetings, & elsewhere; & the 'favored' incumbent Rinos that got unseated. Woodrow Wilson made massive changes (that need to be undone); FDR made massive changes; JFK made a massive tax policy change, more favorable than Reagan or Bush.  Yes it can be done...but, only if people stand up for their rights! (If you are on your duff, you are part of the problem, not part of the solution!  It's your money, too!

I forgot to add that FairTax was around before Boortz...he co-authored 2 books explaining it.  It made a modicum of money, which he donated entirely to charity.  He took the time to do that because he knew the system was filled with merit, as a lot of Congressmen & Senators are finding out.  There is a move afoot too, to enforce term limits: no career politicians...that continues to gain ground despite the media's refusal to report it.

The IRS didn't come in until 1913, which is to say that it has a beginning...now it is time to end. If you choose to not be part of the solution, you are part of the problem.  What changes things is public outrage...and it is mounting (that is reality).  The someone who will process the revenue is the individual states, who get a small cut of that collection.  Obama-care is going away because even Dems are finding it obtrusive, Labor unions, particularly.  Sales tax is not regressive when the underlying (hidden) taxes are removed...quite the contrary...as I showed in my example (it does take a small amount of education to understand that).  You evidently did not read the bill or the book which explains the whole process.  I don't understand your motive for just making up your pronouncements...it is your money, too!

Bortz made a lot of money off selling his fairy tale, but most persons understand that it will never come true.

Someone will need to process the revenue and enter into the treasury (IRS).

the purpose of taxation is not to collect revenue but to tweak public policy.

Congressmen will not volunteer to reduce their own power.

IRS will still be around to administer Obama care (not going away either).

Sales tax is regressive and would compete with state operations. States will charge to collect and enforce.

Income tax will not go away, just another tax option will be added .

Reality always wins in the end.

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??

If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets.  It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists. 

You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
