I understand that fundamental tax reform in the FairTax will happen at the grassroots. It will not happen with politics in Washington. There are too many vested interests there. I repeat it will happen at the grassroots.
I will never trust a politician in Washington to lead with true lasting fundamental tax reform. They will always lace their tax sausage with poisons for future generations to digest.
Since 1913 there have been 5 major tax reforms each touting to be simpler and flatter.
Each such reform grew back like a cancer and metastacized back to complexity that stifled American business and commerce. Congress is like a drunk surgeon who uses a dirty dull blade to cut out a persons cancer tumor leaving clumps of cancer cells to grow back with a vengeance. And this practice will continue as long as this Surgeon’s license is still in effect and that license is the 16th Amendment.
Since the last major tax reform in 1986 under Ronald Reagan there have been more than 20,000 amendments to the US Tax Code. And the result is a mess. It is always this way and always will be until the grassroots reaches critical mass in turning enough Congressional Districts to the FairTax through Education, Passion and Determination.
There is a revolving door between IRS, Congress and Tax Lobbyist Firms inside the Beltway. They comprise a pay to play tax gaming industry where one pays to obtain tax favors. This nexis of vested interests forms the most powerful core of corruption in Washington. They will never allow the FairTax to move forward inside Washington and they will do everything to deride and smear the FairTax grassroots organizers in much the same way that the Tea Party has been maligned.
But those corrupt vested interests who are LIBERAL AND RINO in their views and that hold the reins of power over taxation WILL WELCOME THE CAIN PLAN! Because it gives them the VAT and they will never allow Cain to advance on his impotent promises.
Cain as President will not have the power in Congress and its tentacled corrupt vestments to move his agenda. It will be compromised away and leave a VAT in addition to the Income Tax.
MARK MY WORD THAT CAIN’S PLAN WILL LEAD TO SIMULTANEOUS INCOME TAXES, SALES TAXES AND VATS.
I don't see many liberals or RINOs backing Cain. Can you point some out?
Why would a President Cain sign such a thing?
