What if the only tax you pay the federal government

is one you don’t have to calculate or report?

Only the FairTax:

• treats everyone the same
• let’s you keep your entire paycheck
• pays you your taxes if you’re poor
• doesn’t know whether you’re poor or rich
• eliminates the IRS and 72,000 pages of tax code
• costs the government less than 1% to collect
• brings jobs back to the U.S.

This from Richard Grenell who resides in Peterson's district:

Yes, Collin was an original co-sponsor of The FairTax in 1999, when
it was first introduced to Congress, along with GOP Rep. John Linder.
Linder was put on the House Ways and Means Committee, but has now
announced that he's retiring from Congress.

Of all the attempts I've made, over the past three years, to contact
Collin, I've never had a response from him or his staff.

Peterson's district has been hard hit by jobs moving to the Dakotas. Maybe we should sell him on a Minnesota version of the FT -db

The term "progressive" has been co-opted because "liberal" has such a negative connotation, and rightfully so. We shouldn't get too excited about such things because in the political world, the definitions change every few generations. For example our founding fathers were liberal in the sense that they championed individual freedom. Besides all that, when "progressive" is used in a tax discussion, it simply means that the tax burden increases as income goes up, and the poor pay little or nothing.

I just noticed in the description for Fairtax that it is a "progressive" form of taxation. I am sorry, but anything with progressive in it gives me a rash. Explain this for me and thus for others please.

All,
As I was doing some research into FairTax history I saw that Colin Peterson (D), MN-07, was one of the original co-sponsors of the bill from its National Retail Sales Tax days. A FTN-contributor named Cary Henderson suggested this may be a good time to approach Peterson again. If Peterson thinks Nancy Pelosi, who is the one keeping Democrats off the bill (I'm not saying this to be political but to make a statement of fact), is now on the wrong side of history, Peterson may be willing to show more independence.

Let me know what you think and how MN-outsiders might be able to help.

Best regards,

Was wondering if there is going to be a group going down to Columbia for the rally. I am with the Grassroots Freedom Riders and I will be heading down and was looking to hook up with a caravan from the Cities possibly
