of good news is that support is growing for complete replacement of the tax code with a national consumption tax. More and more taxpayers are demanding action from their representatives in Congress, and their representatives are listening.
Just one year ago, there were 33 sponsors and co-sponsors of HR 25, The FairTax Act, in the U.S. House. Now there are 53 supporters, and new co-sponsors are joining every month. In the Senate, Senator Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) was the lone sponsor of the FairTax Act, S 25, one year ago. Senators Tom Coburn (R-OK) and John Cornyn (R-TX) now join Senator Chambliss as co-sponsors. The word is spreading about the overwhelming benefits to our economy and our wallets when we replace the nine-million-word tax code mess with the fair and simple FairTax.

Nothing ridiculous about it at all kook!
THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE: AN INTELLIGENCE RESOURCE AND COLLECTOR
Institutional Terrorism: Systemic IRS Abuse Designed To Cheat Innocent Tax Payers
Nothing ridiculous about it at all kook!You povide a 30 year old report and a book by another tax kook to prove "We currently have a rogue agency of the government (IRS) with the ability to destroy anyone it chooses at a whim"? You are a tax kook.
Everyone in not in denial as you are. I'll guarantee you that the vast majority of Americans would agree with that characterization of the IRS!
Keep it up! You are one of the best players on my team!
I'll guarantee you that the vast majority of Americans would agree with that characterization of the IRS!Last year a poll was done about taxes. When people were asked "There have been a number of incidents in which the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) is alleged to have behaved unethically or treated people unfairly during audits. Do you believe that these were isolated incidents, or is this something you think occurs fairly regularly?" Forty-two percent said "Isolated" and 43% said "Fairly Regularly." Far from the "vast majority." But was was interesting was when they ask "In your dealings with the IRS do you feel you have been treated fairly or unfairly, or have you not had enough experience with the IRS to say?" Forty-nine percent said "Fairly" and only 5 percent said "Unfairly." And how much do you want to bet the majority of that 5% are just pissed the IRS is making them pay the taxes they owed.
Keep it up! You are one of the best players on my team!Cool! Who woulda thunk I could be a member of the FairieLand Tax Kooks!! When do I get my uniform?
Uh Huh! And EXACTLY who commissioned this poll and how much do you suppose they paid in order to get EXACTLY result they ordered?
A poll as evidence of anything is absolutely meaningless unless you also site the methodology used and the exact questions asked.
Heavens to Betsy ... you mean you've abandoned the Nightmare Tax?????
I guess that means you now support the FairTax. Welcome aboard, Nightie. It's good to know you've finally learned something.
"Socialist nature of the NRST"??? Really???
Socialist???
"noun
: socialism based on a belief that social ownership of the means of production can be achieved by voluntary and peaceful surrender of their holdings by propertied groups."
... and exactly how does the FairTax accomplish this "socialism" in giving up the "means of production"???
goodness gracious, Nightie. You've regresed into your nasty name-calling mode since you have nothing to say.
Tsk, tsk!!
You're sure a hansome guy ... (always thought you must be a pinhead and this clearly shows us).
And how many said they "... not had enough experience with the IRS to say"?
And what do you think such a "study" might prove? Is this the only "study" you're going to present in defense of the IRS? I would have thought you could do better than that, Nightie.
Is this the only "study" you're going to present in defense of the IRS?I'm not defending the IRS, but to state "We currently have a rogue agency of the government (IRS) with the ability to destroy anyone it chooses at a whim" is just absurd.
Why absurd ... it's true. You're just not sentient enough to realize it.
