An Open Letter to Congress

Several recent polls put Congress’s favorability rating in single digits.  You are presiding over a time of serious national decline.  You have failed to deal with a wide range of fiscal and economic problems.  Rome is burning.  We, the people, know it and so should you.

 

Let’s focus on the Economy. Some of you are beginning to see that the income tax stands in the way of a robust and sustainable economic recovery.  Proposed solutions include a VAT, a “flat” tax, and a federal consumption tax.  Of all the options, only one gets at the core need of outright replacement of the income tax.  What’s needed is the FairTax.

 

The FairTax bill has been held captive in the House Ways and Means Committee since 1999.  Whenever we send in letters we are usually answered with polite, boilerplate form letters that border on impertinence.  To the 76 members of Congress who have cosponsored HR25 and S13, consider yourselves exempt from this message. 

 

To the rest of you, ignorance of the FairTax bill is inexcusable after $23 million dollars worth of research and countless pleadings from your “employers” from around the country. Why do you refuse to deal forthrightly with the FairTax?

 

If you are serious about bringing back jobs, and the “made in USA” label, you can redeem your poor ratings, by the immediate passage of the FairTax bill.  Your grandchildren will see you in a much more favorable light than your contemporaries see you now.

On 12-15-11 the Fairborn Daily Herald posted state director Steve Curtis latest column "Congress and the FairTax". Well worth the read. The newspaper also published a letter to the editor from Bill Teti (Fairborn resident and FairTax friend) regarding the FairTax.

12-16-11 the Fairborn Daily Herald has a commentary on the editorial pages by a guy name of William Rice regarding taxes and the "rich". The title is "the rich don't need a free ride" and may be found on www.otherwords.org WARNING, he is a leftie!!

Lastly, I just want to point out that our local hometown newspaper is continuing to do its job by keeping the tax reform issue alive. Do we know any other paper that is doing this? I sure don't.

Dec. 9, 2011 Fairborn Daily Herald "FairTax Column" by Steve Curtis (state director) was a very timely one. The FairTax and how it could effect our Christmas shopping. Hopefully, its recieved some attention and generated some thinking. Don't forget, you can go to www.ohfairtax.org and see previous columns. Go ahead and use them. That's what they're there for.

The paper was also great about making sure they put in my announcement of no meeting this month because of the Christmas holiday season. Looking forward to January already!

Thanks for the heads up on the closing. I've moved my discussion to the writers room.

Hi Tommyee,
I agree with you about Joe Wilson, He does have a pair. Too bad McCain and the rest won't support him like the lib's supported all the Hate mongers that called Bush a murderer, a Hitler, and on and on and on. I love what your doing and we are definitely on the same page. Check out http:www.fairtaxnation.com
and you will see how we can get our country back. Hope to be Friends.

Go get'em Paul! Please share your response, my hubby and I predict that it will be a form letter thanking you for sharing your ideas. UGH!!

Just sent to the President,

Read my Lips,
I don't want Government Health Care. Don't want cap and trade either. Cap the trial lawyers and the settlements they get. Control costs by passing the Fair Tax. Do you care about our nation? Then you will pass the Fair Tax Asap. That is the only thing which will save our nation from ruin. Get on it or get out.

Dear Senator Cantwell,

So you do realize that by passing this legislation, you are causing more American company's to move overseas to china, India, Russia and other countries where they don't require those companies which do so to operate as "cleanly" as they would here in the United States. So you are therefore causing these companies who would otherwise produce in a cleaner way by staying here to go pollute more overseas which will not only cost us more jobs but will also pollute the planet more than if they would have stayed here? I still think these eco-green fruitcakes are doing more harm than good. Their hearts may be in the right place, but their brains are stuck in a place where the sun does not shine. You are going to bankrupt our children's children and our country with these policy's of yours. Don't you see that you are fomenting a future revolution? Either you and your crowd are ignorant, or you are doing this on purpose. I can't believe you can be so blind. You in my government need to pass the Fair Tax and stop spending like a bunch of drunken sailors. If you and the republicans can't accomplish that, then you will all be replaced before we allow you all to destroy our great country. Not just your country, but We The Peoples country.

Paul, A Fellow Patriot and concerned Father and Husband and American.
