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.

excellent retort. I am reeling.
did I say "reeling"? I meant laughing.
Why not just call it "RobRepublic" and never mind this "Free" business
you do realize that all these posts that you are responding too from three days ago, most of them were not addressed to you...
Camptown ladies fling this crap, doo dah, doo dah...
xzins wasn't talking about your idiotic scam. He was talking about his own idea for a single tax system to replace state and local systems.
Try to keep up.
To collect taxes on taxes.
...all the doo dah day....
Then why does the cult always use the fake rate?
According to the President's Tax Panel report, taxpayers in the second, third and forth quintile pay significantly less in taxes under the current income tax system (benefit) than they would under the so-called FairTax. However, taxpayers in the first and fifth quintile pay less under the FairTax.
It is probably just a coincidence that those in the fifth quintile have their share of taxes reduced by nearly 20% and the three men who came up with the scheme, and each put up $1.3 million on their own money to get the FairTax ball rolling happen to belong to the quintile that benefits most. No doubt it is insignificant that studies supporting FairTax claims were commissioned and paid for by the FairTax organization.
Pigdog asks us to believe that every economist and every study that quarrels with FairTax claims has an interest in maintaining the status quo (income tax), but that these three very wealthy guys have only only our best interests and the best interests of our nation at heart. Thomas Jefferson said, "Merchants have no country. The mere spot they stand on does not constitute so strong an attachment as that from which they draw their gains."
But as pigdog says, if your the lucky ducky in the 25th percentile that sees his share of the tax burden increase by 42% or in the 50th percentile with a 36% increase, it'll be too late, there is no going back. The FairTaxers and their stooges will have accomplished their mission.
The NRST big lie technique.
The President’s Advisory Panel on Federal Tax Reform rejected the crackpot scheme, noting that it would be "the largest entitlement program" in America’s history!
They spent $20 million for their studies, cherry-picked the results, misrepresented those results, came up with a focus-group tested name and sales plan, and are still trying to organize a top-down "grass-roots" movement focusing on labor unions... what a joke.
Fair Tax sounded better than Super Welfare.
So can FairTax 
I always thought HappyTax was a better name. Our tax helpers will always treat you nice!

They originally wanted to call the legislation The "Who Wants to be A Millionaire?" Bill but the name was copyrighted.
I just came here to learn something. I am surprised by the amount of posters who are defending the current system. Curious. If the Fair Tax would benefit them in some way would they be so against it? It sounds like a good plan to me but I'll keep researching it. Thanks for the reply.
