To give you but one example among myriad salient political issues:

Roberts wrote. "That Clause authorizes Congress to regulate interstate commerce, not to order individuals to engage in it. In this case, however, it is reasonable to construe what Congress has done as increasing taxes on those who have a certain amount of ***income***, but choose to go without health insurance. Such legislation is within Congress's power to tax."
With passage and enactment of the FairTax, the Supreme Court decision on Obamacare regarding it as Constitutional under Congress' broad discretionary taxing authority, GOES AWAY, BECOMES DEFUNCT.
The above is but one of hundreds of powers the federal government and its 3 branches will be deprived of to intrude upon the lives of freedom loving Americans.
There are many many aspects of this legislation to consider but hear now that every criticism of the FairTax is fraudulent. It wins hands down in every debate. There is not one flaw in it that the Income tax does not already contain.
So please take time to study, ponder, meditate, think and reason about this incredible legislation that represents REAL CHANGE to our beloved America.
And here is the good news to help you understand that it is possible. It only takes on average 3000 committed FairTax activists in each congressional district to turn the representative towards sponsoring the FairTax.
To get an idea of how long it takes from scratch to acquire 3000 committed activists, start today by reaching out to three people you know and ask each of them to do the same to 3 more people each week. In about one year you have your 3000 activists and your congressional representative will be sponsor.
2013 marks the 100 year anniversary ot the legalization of the Income Tax in American government. It has grown like a cancer to rob Americans of the freedom they once enjoyed and took for granted. The FairTax code replaces this cancer with an organ that keeps government funded but in check.
We are not against our government, we are not against granting our government powers over us, we are against those that would use government to rule over us at the expense of our God-given rights as Americans.
The FairTax, please 'get it' today. Once you do 'get it' there is no way of seeing reform in any other way, and there is no turning back.
surreal election shock?
Please stop with this crap.
There was nothing surreal nor shocking about this.
Romney was a crap product with an owners manual that was pretty undecipherable.
The only thing that should be disturbing about this election should be an instructive lesson that if you serve a top ticket doggy shiite, the lower tickets will suffer too.
borhhhhing!
We are not against our government, we are not against granting our government powers over us, we are against those that would use government to rule over us at the expense of our God-given rights as Americans."We"?
Typical Fairtaxer, can't keep your story straight with lunacy and contradictions all over the place.
If you Fairtaxers want to know why the Fairtax isn't a viable proposal, look in a mirror.
You squandered a republican house, senate and presidency trying to convince people that a 30% tax is really 23%, 100% take home pay, 23% price reductions, a government handout every month and other pie in the sky nitwittery...Oh yeah, and "it's revenue neutral". The government won't have to do with one penny less.
No Way in hell the Fair Tax will ever get passed, it will be bastardized into so much “social justice” claptrap that before you know it there will be an exemption for the takers and double rates for the makers....
Not with the way the population has been fed the cheap kool-aide of socialism...
There is no way that the Fairtax scheme can work. Economists tell us that at sales tax rates above 10%, illegal evasion as well as legal tax avoidance start to increase significantly. And at 30%, the Fairtax plan becomes unworkable. No other nation has ever successfully funded their central government with such a broad based national sales tax. Six have tried, failed and switched to a VAT which has significantly less evasion at higher rates. There is no dual reporting under the Fairtax, and our 10 million retailers would be sorely tempted to “cook their books” in order to avoid remitting the tax revenue.
In addition, HR25 proposes that the Federal government tax State and Local government purchases of all new goods and all services, including a significant portion of State and Local government employee payrolls as representative of services provided. Under the long held Supreme Court doctrine of intergovernmental tax immunity, this taxation would be found to be inappropriate. Sovereign government powers can not tax each other. The 30% exclusive sales tax rate could easily rise to 43% or higher.
Although Fairtaxers claim that the Family Consumption Allowance (FCA) or “prebate” is similar to a tax refund, it is not! The FCA is an income supplement that can be spent (and taxed), or saved as financial circumstances allow. The FCA would be scored by CBO/OMB as a cash grant entitlement costing $600 billion annually at a time when entitlements are squeezing out discretionary spending in the federal budget. We do not need any more entitlements!
There is much else wrong with the Fairtax, but, fortunately, it isn’t going anywhere.
