. I just don't think your version of this is going to fly in DC.

Hmm, on the one hand I see a bill HR25, that has gained more that 50 co-sponsors in the the last session of Congress and introduction into the Senate with more coming on line as a consequence of current successes in the recent election.

OTOH hand, ........... oops no APT, and no support anywhere to be seen.

This year could be a watershed year for this issue.

Maybe, maybe not, though should be interesting for what it accomplishes in permanant rate reduction and setting things up for the essential pushes toword enactment of an NRST sometime in the next four years of this presidential term anyway.

. And certainly if yours flies, I'll have to give you credit for getting it right.

Don't see why since I don't predicate anything on what a particular session of Congress will or will not do.

I only work toward what should be done, and if and when the American people move towards critical mass in support of it, it'll happen out of their efforts not mine.

Any word on what's going on with H.R.25 right now? I mean what's the progress? I haven't heard anything, thought one of you might know. Any changes made? Opposing plans? Maybe a date for the next step? I've been reading up on proposed Social Security changes, and wonder if they would go into effect at the same time. Fair Tax refers to Social Security only in terms of section 201 of the Social Security code. The Social Security plans all refer to payroll deduction. It seems the two should go hand in hand...

Amen to this geezer. I have researched this proposal and I really cannot find ANYTHING truly negative. The privacy advocates will staunchly ridicule it but, frankly the information they are worried about is for the most part already available about them so what are they so worked up about?

This plan will be a watershed proposal and will cause a tremendous amount of money to be reinvested and recycled many times and will only be a benefit to all U.S. citizens. The simple fact that we eliminate the IRS finally and forever is enough to make me cheer. The goons in black suits really make me nervous. Just let you goof on your return or make some other honest mistake in years past and they mercilessly pounce down on you like a cat on a mouse. You don't stand a chance and they LOVE to exert that power over the populace.

Some worry about privacy - the IRS is much more of a threat to you than the APT Tax would EVER be.
