Save America with the ‘Fair Tax Act’
The Courier ^ | August 31,2006 | Gordon Bishop

Posted on 09/03/2006 5:18:40 AM PDT by Man50D

Abolish the federal income tax!

No more taxes on savings and investments!

A "Fair Tax" can completely fund the federal government, Social Security and Medicare!

You control how much you spend!

So what are we waiting for?

You, the taxpayers of America burdened with an income tax that is costly, wasteful and sinking America into inevitable bankruptcy. All current forms of federal taxation would end! You would keep 100 percent of your paycheck. You control how you spend your paycheck. It's your money. You make the decisions as to how you want to spend your money.

The Fair Tax would create more jobs and give the USA a level playing field when selling overseas. United States Senator John Linder (R-Georgia) is sponsoring the "Fair Tax Act of 2005." If enacted by Congress, it would accomplish all of the above. Simple. Easy. And affordable.

It's the best way to downsize government without disrupting the economy.

To join the "Fair Tax" movement in America, just sign the "Economic Freedom & Fairness" Petition supporting forward-thinking solutions. Go to www.grassfire.net and liberate the working class of taxpayers. Grassfire is trying to give the working class the same kind of freedom America's founders gave to those who joined the American Revolution in 1776 with the "Declaration of Independence." We won the Revolutionary War, but have lost our country since the 16th Amendment (income tax) became "Law" in 1913.

"I understand both fully"

No you don't. If you did you wouldn't have mixed an inclusive tax with an exclusive tax (and you clearly did).

If the paychecks stay at 100% gross wages, then the employee can't save much money with which to reduce costs.

The idea of removal of 22-23% embedded taxes was based on the employees income and payroll taxes being removed from the cost of goods and services. This would mean that the employees would get today's TAKE-HOME pay, not the full paycheck. Only by cutting payroll to take-home level can the 22-23% embedded taxes be removed from prices.

Once you give employees their full paycheck for a 20-25% raise in many cases, then you have at the same time made prices go up by about 20% for domestic goods (30% for foreign goods).

This was FAIRTAX MYTH #1-- the idea that everyone could get a big raise, and that things would cost the same. It has been abandoned by the AFFT.

That was "from nothing" "to something"

Work a little harder on your "deductive reasoning" and you'll see you're right back to "apples and oranges" again.

I don't know what you are talking about. Get one of the FairTax guys to bring you up to speed, I'm not convinced you aren't just yanking my chain.

I am quite aware of the clarification you posted. But that clarification does not constitute a rebuttal of the Fair Tax. There are many reasons to be for the FT, not the least of which is the massive simplification of tax law and the reduction of government intrusion into our lives.
There are many facets to the FT and the clarification addresses but one of them. Further, I have never made any specific statement today about 'keeping 100% of you paycheck'.

I will ask yet again: Have you read the Fair Tax book?

Also, if you do not support the Fair Tax then what tax plan do you support?

Does someone who earns 26400 today get tobuy $26400 worth of goods?
He get's goods costing $26,400. You are playing games trying to avoid the issue. The FairTax people claim spend up to the poverty level would be untax. THAT ISN'T TRUE.

Exactly! Thanks for finally admitting the truth.

If my accusation is true you never post again to FreeRepublic under any screen name. If the accusation is false I'll do the same.

Mojave/Roscoe: "Here's a proposal. Take your accusation to the mods. If your accusation is true, my account is banned. If your accusation is false, you terminate your account." 251

What makes you think he has two screen names? Y'all have pull this crap before and have been told by the mods to cut it out. So, unless you have some real evidence, cut it out.

I never read a post where the mods said that. Perhaps I missed it. Please post a link to it.

Every legal resident with a valid SSN who chooses to accept the rebate may do so. There is no requirement to be at or below the poverty line. None.

It's would probably be hard to recruit clueless newbies if they had to bring them up to speed on all of the discredited claims they've abandoned.

Wrong again. Prior to the withholding of federal income taxes people still paid federal income taxes, but they had to simply write a check to the gov't. Back then everyone knew EXACTLY how much they paid. The transition (again, literally overnight) from no witholding to witholding was merely a change in the way government collected taxes. The Fair Tax is merely a change in the way the fed collects taxes. It too can be implemented on a specific date. Your 'argument' is silly.

Have you read the Fair Tax book?

What tax plan do you support?

Sorry, changing the context of the question on the table gets you no brownie points.

No Soup for You.

Accept the offer and take your accusation to the mods.
