lewislynn:The fairtax crowd silence is deafening on this thread.

LOL, I wasn't aware that people are held to a time clock on noticing posts.

However since you are apparently feeling lonely today, I am sure something can be done to alleviate your problem.

 

A Taxreform bump for you all.

If you would like to be added to this ping list let me know.

John Linder in the House(HR25) & Saxby Chambliss Senate(S25), offer a comprehensive bill to kill all income and SS/Medicare payroll taxes outright, and provide a IRS free replacement in the form of a retail sales tax:

H.R.25,S.25
A bill to promote freedom, fairness, and economic opportunity by repealing the income tax and other taxes, abolishing the Internal Revenue Service, and enacting a national retail sales tax to be administered primarily by the States.

Breaux raised concerns that the proposed 23 percent (tax-inclusive) rate would not be sufficient to raise the revenue necessary to fund the government. The Joint Committee on Taxation estimated that it would take as much as a 57 percent (tax-exclusive) rate to be revenue-neutral.

Basically an eye-opener showing us just how bad we're taking it in the shorts through seen and 'unseen' taxes!

Thanks for the ping geezer.
