You know, I dont recall ONE Democrat candidate last fall mentioning ONE WORD
about raising our taxes when they were running for office,it was all about
accountable spending in St Paul and D.C. now, low and behold, they are trying
to ramrod new taxes down our throats as if they were fattening us up for the
feast..They want to make Mn the highest taxing state in the Union, if ANY of
them understood macro-economics they would realize how detrimental to future
job growth and hence economic growth this will be to future Minnesotans. The
right thing to do would be to tax us all at the same rate no matter what you
make, why DISCRIMINATE and PUNISH the producers of this economy/country by
using unproportionate taxation rates to confiscate the fruits of their labor?
TODAY, April 3rd, U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-GA), U.S. Rep. John Linder
(R-GA), U.S. Rep. Tom Price (R-GA) and Ken Hoagland of Americans for FairTax
are holding a news conference and rally to announce that they have
re-introduced the "FairTax" in both the U.S. Senate and U.S. House. They're
being joined by hundreds of grassroots supporters of the legislation, including
the President of RightMarch.com, Bill Greene, along with members of Georgians
for FairTax and Americans for FairTax.
The "FairTax" Plan is a nonpartisan national grassroots campaign to replace
the federal income tax system with a progressive national retail sales tax. It
provides a "prebate" to ensure no American pays federal taxes on spending up to
the poverty level, dollar-for-dollar federal revenue replacement and, through
companion legislation, repeal of the 16th Amendment.
The FairTax is a NATIONAL RETAIL SALES TAX; in other words, you would pay
your federal taxes whenever you purchased a product or service. The FairTax
means that the federal government would no longer withhold federal taxes from
your paycheck -- you get to keep more of what you make. You would no longer
need to file federal income tax forms -- the federal income tax system would be
abolished. And under the FairTax all families will receive a monthly tax rebate
check.
It's time for a real change -- but Congress won't change unless WE FORCE THEM
TO.
TAKE ACTION: The current income tax system is broken. It's complicated, easy
to evade, and unfairly burdens the lower and middle classes. And, attempts to
fix it have only made it worse.
The FairTax would impose a 23% (tax-inclusive) sales tax on the purchase of
new goods and services in the U.S. It would let workers keep their entire
paycheck and retirees keep their entire pension; abolish the IRS and ends all
audits of individual taxpayers; replace the federal income tax, freeing
individuals from ever filing a tax return again; replace all payroll taxes
including Social Security and Medicare taxes (current Social Security and
Medicare benefits would not change); replace corporate and self-employment
taxes; eliminate all hidden federal taxes; provide a universal rebate equal to
the sales taxes paid on essential goods and services to ensure that no American
pays taxes on necessities; replace all estate, gift, and capital gains taxes;
dramatically lower tax rates for low- and middle-income Americans; close all
tax loopholes; bring accountability to tax policy; and let American-made
products compete fairly.
It's time to scrap the current tax code, and give the IRS the boot. Click
