The 14.91% rate for general revenues is set by the HR25 legislation and can only be changed by subsequent legislation expressly modifying that rate.Which includes the OASDI and Medicare rates in the gross payment! If those aren't there the gross payment is reduced and the general revenue rate must go up!

The rates are separated in the legislation. The general revenue rate is expressly set separate from will what ever the Congress decides to set, the Senate does not filibuster and the President signs on to. With ever voter in the nation watching which way that rate goes.
The AFT sure is getting their money's worth with the checks they are sending you.
Seeing as their contract for renting space from me has ended, no longer needing the space that I temporarily provided for them, there are no checks.
I support the NRST because I see it as the way to go, and always have and provide service and contributions to the organizations supporting the NRST as I can, not vice verus.
My reasons for supporting the NRST are much more fundamental than your red herrings of rates or who pays what. They extend back to when I supported Alan Keyes run for the presential candidacy and beyond.
| I discussed the importance of abolishing the income tax because of its tendency to form a habit of servility in the souls of a people that accepts it. Servility of soul is bad not only in itself, it is also an open door through which will soon walk the abuses of ambitious government power. Leaders who find themselves with governmental power over a servile people will be quick to conclude that such a people exist to serve them. |
| "As a matter of fact, what the income tax does — and this is the debate that I think we always try to get into in order to let you and him fight, see — and the people of this country are led down a path where the actual control of their resources, which in the end is the control over their will, is handed off to the government." . . . "The government then manipulates that will in order to destroy the freedom of our electoral system through the income tax structure, and we call the resulting slavery a free system." "In point of fact, it is not as the founders understood, and the only way to restore real freedom is to give people back control over the income that they earn so that they won‘t, at the voting booth and in other phony issues, be subject to that manipulation." |
