If We Had the FairTax, Today Would Just Be Tuesday
2008-04-15 12:00:00 Alexander Hamilton was not in favor of an income tax, but favored a tax on comsumption. He felt it would be more difficult to raise a consumption tax to confiscatory levels than an income tax. In Federalist No. 21, Hamilton wrote: It is a signal advantage of taxes on articles of consumption, that they contain in their own nature a security against excess. They prescribe their own limit; which cannot be exceeded without defeating the end proposed, that is, an extension of the revenue. With the consumption tax, the citizen chooses to pay taxes based on the amount of purchase they make. An income tax can be raised or lowered, compelling the citizen to pay as much as the government demands. As you know, we have an income tax in America, due on that most dreaded day of the year, April 15th. Today is April 15th. If we passed the FairTax, today would just be Tuesday. The Fair Tax is a bill in the United States Congress that would repeal the 16th Amendment and eliminate all federal inc...
The Fair Tax: Universal Welfare is Bad for America
2008-04-14 23:33:00 Libertarian Presidential candidate George Phillies today pointed out a deep flaw in the "Fair Tax" advocated by some Republicans, including former Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee. "The so-called 'fair' tax has two parts, namely a sales tax on almost everything, and a monthly welfare check mailed to every household. Fair tax advocates say the welfare check is a tax rebate, but you get the check even if you paid no tax." read more

How Much Tax Do You Pay?
2008-02-25 11:15:00 It’s that time of year - it’s tax time! At least that’s what the evening news tells me. Actually, paying taxes is a pretty constant event in this country. People most often think of paying taxes as the money the government takes out of your paycheck. While that is certainly the single biggest collective lump for most of us, it doesn’t even begin to cover all taxes that you pay throughout a typical year. Here’s a partial list showing just some of the ways the government takes money from us. Cigarette Tax Corporate Income Tax (passed on to the consumer) Dog License Tax Federal Unemployment Tax (FUTA) Fishing License Tax Food License Tax Gasoline Tax Hunting License Tax Inheritance Tax Interest expense (tax on the money) Inventory tax IRS Interest Charges (tax on top of tax) Liquor Tax Local Income Tax Marriage License Tax Property Tax Retail Sales Taxes Recreational Vehicle Tax Road Toll Booth Taxes State Income Tax Telephone federal excise tax, uni...

The Fair Tax Is Nonsense. . .
2008-01-16 20:56:00 Mike Huckabee's support of the Fair Tax demonstrates a total lack of understanding of reality and economics. Basically, Fair Tax proponents, including this site's Devil's Advocate, want a 23% sales tax to replace every type of government tax. This would replace the income, corporate, social security and Medicare taxes. They even cover their tracks by giving everyone a "prebate" to cover taxes up...

It?s the FAIR TAX, not Evangelicals Stupid!
2008-01-08 19:20:00 Are pundits, political hacks, bloggers and the media stupid or just flat out liars? I keep reading and hearing over and over again that the reason Huckabee is doing so good in the presidential primaries is because of evangelical votes. That has got to be the most dishonest load of horse squeeze that I have ever heard. The reason and almost the only reason Huckabee is doing so well in the Republican primaries is: He is not a Democrat He is not Ron Paul and the FAIR TAX! I know most of you lying ass special interest shitheads will melt like the wicked witch in the Wizard of Oz if you say the words FAIR TAX, but say it with me now, FAIR TAX If Fred Thompson stays in the race I will be voting for him, my second choice for the Republican nominee is Huckabee. Before you say it believe me I know Huckabee is not a conservative, no candidate but Fred Thompson is, but if I had to choose one other candidate that has even one thing going for them it would be Huckabee for supporting the FAIR T...
Behind Huckabee's radical 'Fair Tax'
2008-01-07 17:24:00 With Mike Huckabee's big win in the Iowa Republican caucus Thursday, more people are asking, "So what's this guy actually stand for?" Answer: For the most part, he's a pretty conventional conservative Republican. But on economics, he has one big, out-of-left-field-or maybe make that out-of-right-field-idea. It's called the "Fair Tax," which is spin-ease for a national retail sales tax. The sales tax idea isn't Huckabee's invention. It was developed by a group called Americans for Fair Taxation, and it has already been written into a bill sponsored by Georgia congressman John Linder. Conservative talk radio host Neal Boortz has helped turn it into a grassroots cause, and his FairTax Book, which he co-wrote with Linder, briefly held the No. 1 spot on the New York Times non-fiction best seller list. Here's a quick guide to how the "Fair Tax" is supposed to work, and to some of the problems it might run into if a President Huckabee ever tried to get it passed. How would the...

Allen Buckley calls the fair tax a sham and calls out Georgia's Senator Sax
2007-12-28 13:47:00 Allen Buckley is running for the Lp Georgia nomination for Us Senate. Please visit his website if you get a chanceLIBERTARIAN U.S. SENATE CANDIDATE CALLS FAIR TAX A SHAM; CHALLENGES SAXBY CHAMBLISS TO A DEBATE Atlanta, December 27, 2007 – Allen Buckley, who is seeking the nomination of the Libertarian Party of Georgia for the 2008 U.S. Senate seat currently held by Saxby Chambliss, has called the Fair Tax a sham, and challenged Saxby Chambliss to a debate with respect to the matter. Mr. Chambliss is a co-sponsor of the Fair Tax bill. Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee has made the Fair Tax proposal a major pillar of his campaign platform. The Fair Tax bill provides for a “tax-exclusive” rate of 29.9 percent, meaning that a good or service with a retail price of $1 would cost $1.30 with the Fair Tax. In 2000, a memo written by Lindy Paull, then the Chief of Staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (an arm of the Congress) reported that the “revenue neutralâ...
Fair Tax Calculator
2007-12-18 21:57:00 If you’ve heard of the Fair Tax, but wondered how it will affect your family, you might find the new Fair Tax Calculator interesting. If you haven’t heard of the Fair Tax, here’s what it proposes… What is the FairTax plan? The FairTax plan is a comprehensive proposal that replaces all federal income and payroll based taxes with an integrated approach including a progressive national retail sales tax, 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, the repeal of the 16th Amendment. This nonpartisan legislation (HR 25/S 1025) abolishes all federal personal and corporate income taxes, gift, estate, capital gains, alternative minimum, Social Security, Medicare, and self-employment taxes and replaces them with one simple, visible, federal retail sales tax — administered primarily by existing state sales tax authorities. The IRS is disban...

It's about damn time.I don't have much confidence our incompetent and corrupt leaders will do anything radical, but with the US $50 Trillion in debt, only radical changes are going to get us out of this mess.Enjoy the video, and it'll be interesting to hear your thoughts on our tax system and that damn REIC-lobby-wet-kiss mortgage interest deduction

2006-12-18 21:19:01 Why our Political Leaders Should Embrace the FairTax Plan by John DeJong of NotMeUSA.com The Fair Tax Plan (HR.25/S.25) has been out for well over a year now and yet there are still many people who have never even heard of it. One would think that a plan as bold and beneficial as this would be sounded from one coast to the next. Yet that is not the case. As a point of fact there are many liberal political leaders who continually ridicule the Fair Tax Plan whenever it is mentioned. They?re acting under the misguided belief that this wonderful plan favors the ?rich?. That is the farthest from the truth as one can come. The sad fact is that if any of these doomsayers would take the time to actually read the entire plan then they would quickly recognize it for what it is?the greatest social welfare program of all time. This belief Fair Tax proponents share is held because HR.25/S.25 will do more for the ?lower income? wage earners in the U.S.A. than any other liberal program(s) in exist...

2006-12-06 15:08:04 What Would It Mean to Pass the FairTax Plan? by John DeJong of NotMeUSA.com How would you like to keep one hundred percent of everything you earn? That is one hundred percent of your paycheck, your savings interest, your inheritance, your winnings and any money given to you from a benefactor. How much would you like never to have to worry about tax laws, deadlines, audits, penalties and punishments? Imagine a world where April 15 is just another day of the year? won?t that be wonderful? It will soon come to pass. Some day in the not so distant future we will all benefit from the passage of the FairTax Plan (HR 25/S 25). Once this piece of legislation becomes law the United States will experience an economic escalation that is unprecedented in history. Imagine the cost of living actually moving downward! Envision fuel prices falling and the prices for everyday consumables lowering back down to sixties proportions. How about being able to have mortgage companies actually compete wit...
