That had a lot of good information about the current system, as well as a persuasive argument for his preferred solution. The problem is that that recording was made 10 years ago (about the time the FairTax was in development) and I see no public support or even awareness of it.
The presentation was accurate yet unrealistic in the frame it was presented in. It failed to acknowledge the steps required that a revenue neutral tax plan be implemented before reducing the size and spending of government. This is my understanding that the FairTax gains control of the taxpayers' part in funding the government and once implemented then tighten the reigns on government dereliction of duty.
Now, that is one frame of reference but it is not the best nor widest scope or big picture.
I've been immersed in research for four weeks to get at the roots. To discover the nuts and bolts of the legal and lawful aspects of government operations -- statutory/admiralty/maritime law and jurisdiction.
I've had to re-question and revisit and further research in light of newly acquired information the foundations on which governments -- local, county, state and federal -- operate and the people's relationship to government under each government's jurisdiction.
Also universities, mainstream media, money, currency the banking system, the federal reserve and multi-national corporations. The methods, strategies, tactics and concepts used to deceive and defraud virtually ever living person. Not just in the united States of America but also virtually ever living person in all other countries.
Very little of the information is speculation. More than ninety percent is documented fact. Many bits and pieces have been discussed on FR. Whereas I've seen no mention whatsoever of other areas. Two key pieces of the puzzle have no presence on this forum. Least wise none that I've seen.
Many people on these threads know me from theses threads. To that I inform you that what I've discovered, as have many people before me uncovered many pieces of the big picture puzzle is that beyond their accurate analogies to the movie The Matrix as a metaphor, little has been mentioned about where this all goes when Neo, in the last scene says just prior to hanging up the telephone, "Where it goes from here is up to you..."
The picture of where this is intended to go and how to proceed is being filled in. It's the half of the big picture where all future progress and prosperity will flourish.
In the other half of the picture is at least six, but probably not more than ten, large puzzle pieces that accurately describe that half of the picture that is to be separated or cleaved from the big picture. This describes the matrix. It is in that half of the picture that the controllers and handlers -- parasitical elites -- where many or most dissatisfied people wind up fighting the prevailing current -- swimming upstream, so to speak -- without having accurately identified what they're up against--the nuts and bolts and in most cases the foundation.
The FairTax grass roots movement is one piece of the puzzle. Because it's a headline, attention grabber that the people in general can sink their teeth into. It leads people to question other areas that they otherwise would not be inclined to look into or research.
Side note. Carrying on the legacy of my tagline, after nine years of posting to FR, for the first time I've posted something at my profile page.
Ya'll can continue to make your personal attacks against the motives of those of us who aren't believers in your little Free Lunch tax scheme, but that doesn't mean that your sad little fantasies have a bit of truth to them.
And when you are going to take pot shots at people behind their backs, you could have the decency to ping them. Unless you are just a bunch of cowards.
