I attended a local GOP club Meeting in Frederick Maryland last Wednesday evening. They had Eric Wargtoz, a republican candidate for the US Senate to discuss the Health Care Bill. Eric is a Doctor and was there to relate his thoughts.

I approached him at the end of the meeting and discussed the FairTax with him. He was confused between the FairTax and the Flat Tax. We discussed the differences and how the FairTax would be better for the country. Eric stated that he like what heard and will do more research on the FairTax. I have emailed Eric information and further stated the FairTax benefits. If you are in Maryland or else where please contact Eric and ask for his support.
Eric can be reached at eric@wargotzforussenate.org or call him at 410.827.0183.

Since (with Mary's help) we have 58 House co-sponsors, etc., might we get Fair Tax town hall meetings, and these covered on the "relevant" media to show that citizens are enthused, not angry about valid, helpful reform?
We need publicity to ENHANCE this grass roots work. Folks accept better information they receive multiple ways. And many still have not heard at all.
Can you come up with another path to promotion at scale?

The Fair Tax taxes consumption. It does not matter WHERE the goods or services are "produced" (manufactured or call center located for service). So the Fair Tax taxes foreign (and domestic) "products" at point of sale. It does NOT tax either labor (income) or capital (business tax) to produce those products. Thus, foreign products taxed (income and capital) overseas are again taxed here. US exports (not labor or business taxed here) are also not (labor or business) taxed abroad. So, to the extent the destination country does not tax consumption, these US exports HAVE NO TAXATION AT ALL under the Fair Tax !!!
Do we Fair Tax leaders understand this? Do we tell others? This seems very powerful to me. Am I wrong?

Great news! As they promised me last week, I just learned that Congressman Ralph Hall (TX-4) and Congresswoman Kay Granger (TX-12) HAVE signed on to co-sponsor HR 25 as of Oct 6, 2009! It pays to make those phone calls. That makes 58 co-sponsors in the House.

I encourage you all to call your congressmen/women

The key benefit of the Fair Tax to poor Americans (as with all of us) is simplicity. Even if working 1.5 minimum wage jobs while juggling motherhood, all "loopholes" are available without hiring CPAs (as the wealthier do).
Also think about how loopholes work. Somebody "argues" (often with campaign contributions) for some good sounding "cause" (stop global warming with cap & trade or give health insurance away, perhaps). Some of us found it daunting to seek funds to improve solar PV efficiency amid the complexity and risk of financial meltdown and massive government growth / cronyism with big business. But if we all had more time, and wealth, we would likely devote creative resources and donations to solving such issues.
Simplicity solves a multitude of problems (Bill / Melinda Gates Foundation and Andrew Carnegie libraries as examples).
So, Fair Tax leader, you and your group might start, "elevator pitch" TO ALL AMERICANS with Fair Tax SIMPLICITY. This is of value to all (THE key Fair Tax strength). Then specific benefits of the Fair Tax TO THEM follows naturally.
May the best tax win.

Marc Manieri (Florida) does a superb job of outlining in web enabled conference calls:
1) Benefits of the Fair Tax in general and
2) Special topics of interest (at the end of the overviews).
You might attend and point others to this for growing the Fair Tax insight within the group (and propagating outside).
We are working on preparing a special topic about value of the Fair Tax to liberals due to the "disparity" in response (liberal vs. conservative) discussed in the last few entries to this forum. And due to the momentum we can gain in all political climates if this becomes clear.
Suggestions are welcome.

Not to mention- who stands to gain most from eliminating payroll taxes? Those making the least! They pay it and they get less in raises when employers have to use part of their raise for additional payroll taxes. Is it any wonder that the gap between high earners and low earners keeps growing? Our tax code facilitates this disparity.
