The only candidate who stands a chance in this primary is dr eric wargotz. not only the elected commission president of queen annes county but also one of the most well respected Docs in the state. He has travelled the state raising money and articulating the real and true need for new leadership and not only that he has provided plans as to how to go about it. check out www.wargotzforussenate.org

The question is:

Will Dr. Wargotz will support or even co-sponser the FairTax Act (HR 25, S 296). The FairTax is nonpartisan legislation. It abolishes all federal personal and corporate income taxes, gift, estate, capital gains, alternative minimum, Social Security, Medicare, and self-employment taxes and replaces them with one simple, visible, federal retail sales tax administered primarily by existing state sales tax authorities.

The FairTax:

Enables workers to keep their entire paychecks
Enables retirees to keep their entire pensions
Refunds in advance the tax on purchases of basic necessities
Allows American products to compete fairly
Brings transparency and accountability to tax policy
Ensures Social Security and Medicare funding
Closes all loopholes and brings fairness to taxation
Abolishes the IRS

He has already indicated that he supports a comsumption tax but may not support the FairTax.
THe FairTax will bring this country back to economic sanity.

FairTax has had over $20 million in privately funded research and is as fair and simple as any taxing scheme can be. If he can come up with a simpler and fairer tax based on consumption, please lay it out to the people.

Mark, you are incorrect on a number of statements. First, the Fair Tax book cites research by Dr Dale Jorgenson of Harvard as their source that you will keep your entire paycheck and that prices will to offset the sales tax increase. Unfortunately, Dr Jorgenson actually said that prices would be able to decrease only if workers continued to receive their current take home pay, not their entire gross paycheck. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1470200/posts. The Fair Tax book also assumes that governmental agencies would be paying the tax as well. By using this assumption, it provides a false figure for the amount of revenues generated by the tax. http://www.factcheck.org/taxes/unspinning_the_fairtax.html. As for being nonpartisan, according the the Fair Tax website of the 75 members of the House and Senate that support the bill, there are only 2 Democrats. I wouldn't exactly call that nonpartisan. These are but a few of the innacuracies with the Fair Tax idea. There are others, but this is a start.

> These and other arguments have been addressed by the authors of the book in a second book. FairTax.org rebutted the factcheck report and gave them corrections, but factcheck never corrected their errors or responded. The FairTax is a far better method of tax collection and if your a supporter you should get the correct information.

HR-2525 was introduced on 7/14/1999 into the 106th congress. At the end of that session, there were seven Co-Sponsors. Four were Republicans and three were Democrats. HR-2525 was reintroduced into the 107th congress on 7/17/2001. All the Co-Sponsors from the prior session also signed on to this bill. When the bill was reintroduced into the 108th congress (HR-25) on 1/7/2003 the only Democrat to sign on was Rep Collin Peterson (MN-7). The minority leader (Nancy P) had put the word out that no Democrat should be a Co-Sponsor of this bill.

The Fair Tax bill had 7 Co-Sponsors in both the 106th and 107th sessions. The number jumper to 54 by the end of the 108th session. (If the minority leader is against it, the Republican Reps started looking at it!) The 109th session ended with 58 Co-Sponsors including one Democrat (from OK-2). It should be noted that "The Fair Tax Book" was released in August of 2005 and "FairTax: The Truth" was released in 2008. The 110th Congress ended (Dec 2008) with 72 Co-Sponsors!

Has anyone talked to Rep Collin Peterson (MN-7) lately? Maybe he would be a good person to start a push with the Majority Party to support the Fair Tax.
