I've been self-employed for many years. I have much more problems with the State of Texas taxes than the federal taxes.
To those who didn't know CHIEF negotiator, this is from his Profile page.
"You'll notice that most of my links on the left deal with our abusive, intrusive, incomprehensible income tax system, and their Gestapo collection agents, the IRS.
A progressive/graduated income tax is the second plank in Karl Marx Communist Manifesto! So any sane thinking American citizen should wonder What was the original intent of the income tax? [see link]
As a result of my intensive study of various tax plans, I have determined that the only way to accomplish the original intent of our Founding Fathers is to abide by Article 1 Section 8 of our Constitution:
"The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States; but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;"
A National Retail Sales Tax is an "excise" tax that is "uniform". There are two NRST bills before congress, HR2001 and HR2525. My preference is HR2525 that funds Social Security and Medicare from the FairTax revenue, rather than paychecks as HR2001 does.
In the fall of 1998, FReepers pigdog, Taxman and myself organized the FairTax FReeper Cyber Warriors to contact the media and Congress about this better method in which to tax ourselves. Our membership now totals over 500 concerned citizens! Americans for Fair Taxation support HR2525. Most of your questions about the FairTax are answered at Frequently Asked Questions and Research and Analysis.
Why would any politician demand that we continue to report our income to the Gestapo IRS - face penalties, interest, audits, liens, searches, seizures, garnishment of wages and even PRISON, when there is a better method to fund government?
If American citizens do not petition government about the major advantages of the FairTax, expect another 88 years of "tinkering with the taxcode".
If you are interested in becoming a FairTax FReeper Cyber Warrior, just send me a FReep-mail with your real email address with a note, "I want to be a Cyber Warrior". I will forward the list to pigdog who will send you the rules and regs, and a list of our lastest email "targets". We will not provide anyone a list of Cyber Warriors!
