Fair Tax ping!
Aw geez! not this $#!^ again!
A M E N ! ! !
The sooner the better!
The article was pretty good until they had to throw that whopper in.
are you paid to keep pushing this swill?
anybody who thinks that this is going to look anything like the proposal by the time it gets throuigh is going to be surprised when the net gain is zero.
you’re creating a frankenstein’s monster by volunteering another pocket for the politicians to pick.
and if you think that congress is going to reliminate the IRS, I have a bridge to sell you cheap.
Good luck!
You think these bozo’s in Washington are gonna give up a good thing?
Not just NO!
NO WAY!
and H*LL NO!
No to the creation of a national sales tax!
NO to the creation of a NEW ENTITLEMENT PROGRAM with the absurd prebate!
NO to the creation of new and MORE intrusive government paperwork in private business!
NO to the COMPLETE DESTRUCTION OF RETIREMENT PLANNING! This would be a NEW TAX on seniors who have tax exempt income!
The Fair Tax is a scam and snake oil.
The current system is bad but passing this abomination is far far far worse.
Thanks for the ping. The movement is gathering support from all ends of the political spectrum. Young people are definitely onboard.
The naysayers are losing their credibility by insisting people hold onto the Income tax monstrosity that presently exists.
The only significant opposition to HR 25 is in the more than half of the 53,000 lobbyists that are paid to game the present tax code inside the beltway.
And there is a growing backlash against K-Street within powerful insider circles.
Democrats are starting to get heat from their constituents to support H.R. 25 / S. 1025. They have begun to join the movement.
We have been running more than an $800 billion trade deficit. That can’t go on for very long. Ron says we’re a debtor nation and we are.
Our manufacturing continues to move overseas to “more tax friendly” locations. We can’t exist by providing each other services. Picture everyone doing their neighbor’s laundry. We need to produce products to exist.

the mercantilists are back!
They still haven’t fixed the gaping holes in the bill, I see.
Too bad. It might work okay if someone would get a clue.
BS. Third world wages are why manufacturers are moving overseas.
“We have been running more than an $800 billion trade deficit. That can’t go on for very long. Ron says we’re a debtor nation and we are.”
Trade deficit is not debt. Trade deficits are paid for.
The best initial approach is probably just to consolidate all federal taxes (corporate income, FICA, communications, tarrifs, etc.) into a single simplified personal income tax, and to fund as many Federal services by user fees as possible.
No tax is fair. Income tax is probably less fair than sales tax (b/c it requires people to divulge their income). But we already easily avoid sales tax by buying on the Internet, and the Federal policing of the Internet that would be necessary to fight that would probably be as bad as the IRS.
Then there is that insane wealth transfer known as the Fair Tax “rebate”...
