I only have an AAS degeree, I know many of you have more college education than that but one of the things that was stressed in several courses was goal setting, I'm possitive that has been the case in many of your courses as well. Especially in business management classes. If the Fair Tax has set goals each year they have kept them a secret, I've been on their mailing list for years and I've never seen specific goals laid out. I have mentioned a more "organized" approach several time and sort of rebuffed saying this is a grassroots movement. What is to say grassroots can't organize into beautiful sod? There are a couple of states that seem to be organized on the state level and that is commendable. Can we make it 50 states in 2009?

Please respond and let's make this happen.

Is our President a real civil servant?
Or does he just have a point of view?

We might ask that of our congress-people. Is their point of view that lobby money trumps serving citizens?

WHY sir / madam do you oppose simplifying 21,000 pages of tax code? Should you not be isolated next election for this point of view damaging essential Fair Tax reform? Go play with your lobbyist friends. We need you not.

Comment by Adrian B Early on October 23, 2009 at 1:07pm: Dear Fair Tax leaders,
You all should know that more politicians even are proposing (as theirs in some cases) measures with elements similar to those of the Fair Tax. Even Democrats in "Blue" States.
See http://www.baird.house.gov/index.php?option=com_content&task=vi...
His words include, bold emphasis mine:
"Any discussion of real health reform should ideally be done in the context of remaking the federal tax code," said Congressman Baird. "At 21,000 pages and counting, the tax code as a whole is the most confusing and inefficient system ever devised. We can do better..."
Is this worth quoting to others in YOUR district?
Is it an "excuse" to call your congressperson about healthcare (of consternation now) and couple it with the Fair Tax?
Congressman Baird is not yet on board with the precise Fair Tax, but his arguments apply. Jamie and folks here in WA state are working on him, and as Jim Tomasik suggested, his opponent to BOTH campaign on sponsoring the Fair Tax.
Can you and your group implement something equally wise in your area?

I guess that is not the case any longer.

That is what we are all about...getting the FairTax passed.

Comment by Josh Gregg on October 16, 2009 at 11:22am: Announcement: I Was elected as vice President of the NCTC. As a community coordinator for the Fair Tax, I will not only push for the preservation and advancement of commen sense principles, but I will also work hard to convince my constituants that the Fair Tax is the best solution for the tax code.

Comment by Josh Gregg on October 16, 2009 at 11:18am: I agree. It makes sense. Trade deficits are created when we import more than we export. When business no longer have to pay taxes on exported goods thatmeans the business grows here at home, they make more money, spend more and the U.S. government collects more under the Fiar tax. and also, the trade deficit is reduced.

Comment by Adrian B Early on October 16, 2009 at 8:55am: Folks,

You might watch the Mike Huckabee video (< 10 minutes) at http://www.fairtax.org/site/PageServer. It is effective and informative.

Submitted to Mike Huckabee on http://www.mikehuckabee.com/index.cfm?fa=Contact.Home:

Mike,
Should we promote that the consumption (Fair) Tax taxes imports but removes ALL US taxation from exports?
The consumption tax (policy) is a huge economic benefit to trade and balance of payments with nations employing the inferior income and business taxation approach.
Let's (US) lead the world in making income and business taxation obsolete through the Fair Tax innovation.

Comment by Adrian B Early on October 12, 2009 at 10:53am: Chapter 3 of Fair Tax: The Truth by Boortz is an excellent summary of Fair Tax benefits. All Americans should read this chapter, if not that book. It is under $12 on Barnes & Noble http://search.barnesandnoble.com/FairTax/Neal-Boortz/e/9780061540462.

Comment by Adrian B Early on October 12, 2009 at 10:45am: Sorry, Marv. Thank you for this correction. Thank you for, & congratulations on, your success with legislators.

Fair vs. Flat tax is a key issue. Very dynamic WA state rep candidate Elizabeth Scott has asked many questions about the difference also (for example). She supports repeal of the 16th Amendment.

Key (related) benefits of Fair Tax over "flat" include:
1) NO income, business, or "safety net" tax (FICA, Medicare).
2) No IRS or reporting for personal or business (except retail sales; consumption tax).
3) Much more comprehensive solution.
4) Eliminates the DANGER of congress / lobbyists restoring tax loopholes and "brackets" (repeals 16th Amendment).
5) Fair Tax has $22 Million economic research backup "vetting" and validation, much more congressional support (58 House cosponsors now). Consumption tax is economically superior for trade (see my comments below). They tax imports, but not production of exports. Flat tax taxes labor on all products including exports (& leaves business taxes intact).
6) The flat tax is another reason we need to strongly build Fair Tax momentum. The "good" (flat tax) could endanger the best (Fair Tax). We advocates of government revenue sanity are better not fighting amongst ourselves.
7) But we must understand and promote the benefits of Fair Tax over "flat" income tax only (like we had upon enactment of the 16th Amendment, with promises it would stay that way). Because this alternative choice creates confusion.

It is great to see this growth in momentum for the Fair Tax both in numbers and depth of understanding & discourse.
