The FairTax is not being promoted by the Church of Scientology. The "church" of Scientology was persecuted by the IRS. That much is true. I looked for the case on Findlaw, but I didn't find it. Please see, http://www.scientology.org/en_US/news-media/faq/pg045.html for a summary.

If memory serves, the case clearly showed that the IRS thought it was within its purview to consider whether the "Church of Scientology" was a legitimate church, and whether the "contributions" were deductible as contributions or whether the followers were really purchasing services.

Regardless of your thoughts on Scientology, Anyone who loves liberty should be outraged by the mere suggestion that the IRS should have the power to decide which churches are legitimate and which are phony. That is within the exclusive purview of the individual. The power to rescind the tax-exempt status is the power to control; the power to muzzle our Priests, Ministers and Rabbi's---never allowing their messages to be heard.

ENOUGH! Time to remove this arrow from the Government quiver by enacting the FairTax.
