Isn’t the Fair Tax a scheme to keep feeding the federal monster in a more efficient manner. Not an expert on this tax so I may be mistaken, but don’t proponents brag that it will take just as much money from Americans as current rapacious system. Why would we want a tax that will continue to allow the federal government to operate at its current unconstitutional level? A level a government that is causing the economy to collapse.
There was a time when conservatives fought to cut back government. Now conservatives dream up clever schemes to nurture the monster. Our problem isn’t liberals (who are just no damn good). Our problem is that today’s “conservatives” are to the left of yesterday’s liberals.

some facts that even the Sheeple should be able to grasp:

The next time you hear a politician use the word ‘billion’ in a casual manner, think about whether you want the ‘politicians’ spending
YOUR tax money.

A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into some perspective in one of it’s releases.

A. A billion seconds ago it was 1959.

B. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.

C. A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.

D. A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.

E. A billion dollars ago was only
8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate our government is spending it.

While this thought is still fresh in our brain...
let’s take a look at New Orleans ...
It’s amazing what you can learn with some simple division.

Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu (D) asked Congress for 250 BILLION DOLLARS to rebuild New Orleans . Interesting number...what does it mean?

A. Well... if you are one of the 484,674 residents of New Orleans
(every man, woman, and child)
you each get $516,528.

B. Or... if you have one of the 188,251 homes in New Orleans , your home gets $1,329,787.

C. Or... if you are a family of four,
your family gets $2,066,012.

Washington, D. C.

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?

Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago...and our nation was the most prosperous in the world.

We had absolutely no national debt... we had the largest middle class in the world... and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.

What happened?
Can you spell ‘politicians!’

And..We still have to
press “1” for English.

I hope this goes around the
USA at least a billion times!!!

IT CAN - all ya gotta do is EMAIL THIS TO EVERYONE IN YOUR ‘ADDRESS BOOK’ AND ASK THEM TO DO THE SAME -
it could reach millions in one day (math is absolute) - and in a week?

and add this link to FAIR TAX.

http://www.geocities.com/cmcofer/ftax.html?200727

The FAIR TAX, which would dump the IRS (the gestapo arm of the gov’t) - cutting off the power to intimidate/blackmail. A solely, individually controlled Consumer Tax - leaving more money in our pockets, NO “April 15th”, no accounting for how much money we make nor where we make it nor higher taxes on it...
The FAIR TAX may be the ONLY weapon we have left to save the Constitution and our FREEDOMS...and cut off the control from the top. Washington would have just as much money to spend, but real accountability and without control over us as individuals. They would be relagated back to “representatives” not rulers.

To get the FAIR TAX passed, we can’t rely on the DC critters - they won’t let go of their power and perks willingly - we have to help with the ground swell that is building and DEMAND it.

COPY-PASTE-MAIL.....NOW. The ONE and his minions have been waiting for the control they now have and they are moving with lightening speed - nothing short of a coup - to implement their Socialist Grip - from which we will not get free for decades...unless we block them NOW.

COPY-PASTE-MAIL.....NOW...NOW!

NOW.........................
