I hope President Trump tells Congress that, hencefoth, no bill will be signed by him if it exceeds ten pages in total, and is worded in plain English, easily understood by the citizens whom they represent.

Furthermore, all bills passed by both houses of Congress should be published and set aside for public comment for a period of ten business days, prior to going to the President’s desk for signing.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
These changes would constitute an enormous improvement.

The answer to our economic difficulties is the FairTax!

By ELIMINATING corporate income taxes, FairTax is a “border adjustable tax” which would allow US manufacturers to export their products without the added burden of Federal taxes (estimated to comprise as much as 25% of the final retail price!).

Manufactured goods imported into America arrive at our shores tax FRee — our trading “partners” utilize a border adjustable tax called the Value Added Tax (an EVIL tax, IMHO!) which is rebated to exporting companies, thus arriving here TAX FREE!

FairTax would impose a retail sales tax on ALL goods and services sold in the USA, and therefore, would level the playing field between domestic and imported goods sold in the USA.

AND by untaxing our exported goods, we would compete on a level playing field overseas.

Ergo, FairTax is THE answer!

I have been an advocate of the FairTax for a long time.

Maybe someday!

Perhaps it should be a matter of prayer. Hadn’t ever really thought of it that way. After all, it is FAIR.

I LOVE THE FAIR TAX ... But it is a Hard Sell to even folks on this venue.
I would implement it today if I were King and it will take almost that much arm twisting to make it happen.
It takes away a LOT of Power from those that want to Social Engineer, Control or in any way Shape the actions of Constituents (which is the Part I LOVE the most) and a big reason folks get into Politics or Journalism.
It’s design is the antithesis of the design of OBAMACARE.
The Fair Tax is EXACTLY “CHOICE” if you like your Doctor etc etc
A good start towards getting the Fair Tax would be to Change “TAX DAY” from April 15th to the day before Elections and you would see the Elites scrambling to try and keep up.

*** “He’s not the person that I once thought he was” ***

Nor I and I was one of his biggest Fans, I caught much flack from my Family but I was able to land safely without being a hypocrite by pointing out the Fact that Cruz did it to himself... I didn’t change, Cruz did and he has changed again, should I now forget and support him again?
For Cruz the Stakes were high, he is/was relatively young and very ambitious and may have been too much too soon.
I hope he has matured if he has I will reconsider my opinion.

PS NO JOKE ... As I was typing the above I was listening to the stupid Sports Radio folks that have just announced that Johnny (Johnny Football) Manzell has been sober for 2 Weeks and his situation should be Re-considered since He is a “Changed Man”.
Sometimes I wonder about AM Radio and why they would hire such idiots no matter how many athletes that they know.
Just Damn, now I am depressed.

I assume Trump will veto any bill that limits the president’s power.

I saw Ryan tonight on Charlie Rose talking about how Mexico could be made to “pay” for the wall by simply making the trade deals bring in more than enough money to pay for it.

I don’t trust that snake one bit.

Well said! Taxman Bravo Zulu!

We just have to keep on pressing ahead with the FairTax — winning the hearts and minds of the American people one at a time!

FYI, when he was in Congress, VPEOTUS Pence was a FairTax co-sponsor. And economic advisor to the PEOTUS Steve Moore has long been a FRiend of the FairTax movement, as has another PEOTUS advisor, Governor Mike Huckabee.

Our progress is painfully slow, but I am reminded that it took FRom 1864 until 1913 to get the federal income tax into place.

I am well aware of and profoundly grateful for your support, xzins! Thank you for hanging in there!

And, yes, prayer just might help! It certainly won’t hurt!

Hi Taxman,

Most if not all of what Trump talks about re trade is actually do-able via the NRST. so much so that I kind of thought that his plan was to pass the Fairtax.

Border-adjustability, repatriating dollars, lowering the corporate income tax, encouraging manufacturing.....

Would that be a kick!

Mike Lee chipmunk faced duplicitous choir boy. What I have learned in the past couple of years—there are three kinds of people in the world; the good guys, the bad guys and the bad guys who pretend they are the good guys. Mike Lee and the other Judas “conservatives” are the third type. This is how we were slowly, gradually denied our freedom by these false flag politicians.

The Uniparty has used the Hegelian Dialectic to divide Americans into Democrat and Republican, Liberals vs. Conservative, the tactic of divide and conquer.
