“When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.” – Thomas Jefferson
So, does the IRS fear you or is it the other way around?
I challenge you to take just one minute to read the high points about the Fair Tax, a movement to abolish the IRS and replace our confusing and punitive tax code with a progressive national retail sales tax. Taxing spending instead of income; it doesn’t get any more fair than that – for all Americans.
Don’t just take my word for it.
Sen. Zell Miller (D)– “The current income tax code requires massive files, dossiers, credits and collection activity by the IRS. Under the FairTax there is no IRS as the founding fathers intended. The current income tax pushes rates up and is biased against savings and investment. The FairTax would increase investments by U.S. citizens and attract foreign investment. The current income tax is an antiquated, unenforceable morass with annual tax returns long enough to circle the planet Earth twenty-eight times. Under the FairTax there are no forms for individuals. Not a single one.”
Rep. Tom Tancredo (R) – “[T]he most important reason to move from an income tax to a FairTax is because an income tax is designed to manipulate behavior. It gives the government the power to manipulate your behavior. ‘I reward you for the things I want you to do by giving you a tax cut. I penalize you for the things I don’t want you to do by raising your taxes.’ That is too much power for the federal government.”
Neal Boortz – “As I’ve done every tax day for decades .. here are a few little tests to try on some of your coworkers. First .. you can ask them how much they had to pay in taxes this year. Sadly, more often than not you’re going to get a response to the effect that ‘I didn’t have to pay anything, I’m getting some back.’ That’s the nature of our present tax system. People don’t even have a clear idea of just how much income taxes they paid.
Your second task is to find out if your coworker actually knows how much they earn? Go ahead, ask them. They’ll probably tell you that it is none of your business. Press the issue … tell them there is a specific reason you’re asking the question. You want to see if they really know ho much they make. If they finally cough up the information it will probably be a statement much like ‘Well, I take home $xxxx a week.’ Take home. Isn’t that wonderful? Thanks to withholding people don’t even know what they earn!
Just think about what you’ve been going through the past few weeks .. and think about what the IRS can do to you if you win the audit lottery. These people have all the power. You have virtually none. This balance of power can be shifted … but you need to get out there and fight for change.”
None of the three candidates for president support the Fair Tax. Why do you think that is?
