FairTax Advocates,
In March of 2005, I left active duty military to begin my civilian career. This sector shift opened my eyes to the rampant issue of tax oppression in our country. During active duty, I was shielded from the major tax detriments I now incur on the civilian front. My personal experience and the shared experience of many Americans converted me into a firm supporter of the FairTax.
My passion for the FairTax began when I realized that our government places an annual limitation on our 401K, currently capped at $16,500 and an additional $5,500 if you’re 50 or over. My annual
federal income tax liability exceeds this cap, putting me in a “negative equity” or “upside down” scenario as I’m trying to save for retirement. In other words, I am required to pay our government more than our government allows me to save tax free. For me and numerous citizens, our current tax system creates an
American nightmare, not an American dream.
Due to this present frustration and also realizing that the tenets of the FairTax will pave a better, brighter tomorrow for our country, I am compelled to take action. I recently created the website
http://www.fairtaxforum.com Essentially, my website is a discussion and blog forum where Americans from all walks of life can share ideas and educate themselves on the principles of the FairTax and its respective benefits if brought to fruition.
The FairTax Forum's mission is to serve as a central online networking location for discussion and blogging of the tenets of the FairTax Act and to educate the masses in regards to government’s oppressive taxation and collection.
I need your help in spreading the word about upcoming FairTax events and to join in the discussion. On my website:
http://www.fairtaxforum.com I have an area that is specifically set up to notify other FairTax advocates about upcoming FairTax events in their respective states. You can go directly to the location here:
http://www.fairtaxforum.com/forum/forum.php to post the most up to date events throughout the United States. I am only a 1 person army and my website is only a little over a week old, but I’m a fervent supporter of the FairTax and would like your help in getting the word out.
Respectfully,
Michael Gonzales
