Stimulus Package - The FairTax Revealed
No Compromises ^ | January 30, 2008 | ThoughtRogue

Posted on 02/04/2008 12:44:23 PM PST by Jefferson Paine

What the heck is the FairTax plan?

In light of all the recent Congressional support for a phony fiscal “stimulus” plan to ostensibly rescue the American economy from falling into the proverbial abyss, let’s take an honest look at an incredible, infinitely better plan - one that we hear a lot about these days. Were it to be implemented, economists project it would spark an unprecedented period of economic expansion in the United States, not to mention worldwide.

It has been gaining a huge grass-roots base in recent years and is steadily gaining support in Congress, but it is also garnering new levels of distortion and outright lies by its detractors who have a vested interest in keeping the Internal Revenue Code monstrosity just as it is, with its plethora of loopholes, of special favoritisms and punishments, incredibly wasteful complexity, and its merry band of enforcers - Big Bubba’s army of IRS agents. Rest assured, when you hear the FairTax plan demagogued and maligned with scary propaganda, these people either want to desperately hang on to their entrenched power at all costs, or they have never actually learned the FairTax’s specifics in their entirety, and thus, simply repeat someone else’s lies and distortions.

That's right. All of us who haven't been flim-flammed by the FT are just a bunch of idjits who can't think for ourselves. We have no capability to ratiocinate. We are 'tards.

We

Heads up..
Thank for the 'tard ping' - looks like I'll have to fire up another brain cell and lower the thermostat to match my anti-fairtax-IQ

And the hyperbole is like warm fuzzy kittens all over...

Gotta wonder why the whole wonderful world hasn’t adopted the greatest idea since walking upright and breathable air.

The only modern corollary to the fairtax is a buglight out on the back porch - next to a very large swamp.

The stimulas package is more proof that Bush is liberal, for a Republican. Our federal government has a debt, so they shouldn’t increase spending. He’s said, since 2000, that he’s a conservative, but a conservative wouldn’t propose a huge spending increase.

The anti’s popped up like fukowee indians before this thread even got started. Where do they come from and what do they do all day waiting for a thread to hijack?

Good article. Thanks, Jefferson Paine. You can bet the “anti” types will be all over it - if fact they already are having nothing better to do with their tax-supported time.

The fukowees have a proud history. ;O) It indicates they are becoming increasingly worried as support for The Fair Tax continues to grow.

Note, ladies and gentlemen, the level to which this thread sunk to long before any of the FairTax supporters posted.

Note also that there have been no counter FairTax arguments posted — just smart mouth, trash mouth disrespective remarks indicative of the level of FRustration the anti-FairTaxers must live with whenever a pro-FairTax article is published.

For, make no mistake about it: the FairTax continues to gain support and momentum, despite the best efforts of the nattering nabobs of negativism.

Natter on! For you are showing your true, anti-FReedom colors!

And every time you show your true colors, the FairTax gains supporters, both on this forum and elswhere.

He began his administration with rebate checks, and it is fitting that he leave office with another round of rebates.

Your post called my attention to the early part of this thread. Go back and read the first 10 posts. Bears out your statement: "smart mouth, trash mouth disresptective remarks".

That's truly all it is. These people belong on the floor of the democrat convention.
