*NO* to “FAIR” TAX!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With its Orwellian name to its ‘pre-bates’ and deceptive and hidden “tax-inclusive” rates, it is as big a turd as the current system
FLAT TAX OR NOTHING~!!
10% ACROSS THE BOARD- NO EXEMPTIONS!
How about NO to both?
Did someone turn over a rock?
You are right about repealing the 16th Amendment. Do that, and then we can start over. I prefer a flat tax myself, no deductions, kicks in after about $50k or so.
Repeal of the 16th is a lovely notion.
But since we don’t seem to be able to reliably win presidential or congressional elections, it’s pretty much a pipe dream.
Repealing (or passing) an amendment is 10x or 20x harder than winning a simple election.
Why don’t we concentrate on electing a president and building a super-majority in Congress, and then talk about possible amendments? You gotta have a 2/3 majority in both houses of Congress, anyway, to pass an amendment.
(There is an alternative approach, but it’s never been successfully used, and there’s no reason to think it would be any easier than the congressional route.)
FairTax is better than our current Marxist Income Tax we have now.
All Income Tax is progressive.
We will never again be a TRULY free people for so long as we continue to abide the communist inspire income tax and the IRS!
If health care reform violates the tenth amendment, the “fairtax” trashes it completely.
Repealing the 16th amendment is moot. The SCOTUS just said that Congress can tax anyone and anything it wants, without any amendments being necessary.
While I’m in favor of the FairtTax, it really has no bearing on this issue. The “taxes” (read: penalties) in Obamacare are above and beyond normal taxes, no matter how they are collected.
Not this nonsense again that was shot down already.
If you really believe in the concepts of the founding fathers of this country, then no individual should be paying income or property taxes.
IT'S TIME for a NEW WAY to do the same old thing, TAX us.
Some agree with you, others will tell you you're daft.
Nonetheless, "IT'S TIME for a NEW WAY to do the same old thing."
Hang in there. I'll listen to what you have to offer. May not always agree, but, I'll listen and evaluate your POV.
On January 10, 2008, the Federal District Court in Chicago issued a permanent injunction against Bill Benson on the grounds that by offering information demonstrating that the 16th Amendment was not legally ratified, he was promoting an abusive tax shelter. The Court then refused to look at the government-certified documentary evidence, deciding instead that the facts necessary to prove his statements true were “irrelevant.”
What has America come to when the government we created to protect our rights can accuse us of lying and then prohibit us from presenting a defense in a court of law?

The Premise
The federal government rests its authority to collect income tax on the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution—the federal income tax amendment—which was allegedly ratified in 1913.
“The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.”
—The 16th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America
After an extensive year-long nationwide research project, William J. Benson discovered that the 16th Amendment was not ratified by the requisite three-fourths of the states and that nevertheless Secretary of State Philander Knox had fraudulently declared ratification.
It was a shocking revelation; it reached deep to the core of our American system of government.
