CONFIRMED: I've been asked to bring copies of "The Rich Don't Pay Tax! …Or Do They?" to the TX GOP Convention, in Ft. Worth, to sell at the FairTax booth. A portion of each sale will go to support the FairTax. I'll be there to sign copies, for those who want a signed copy.

If you're going to be there and have already bought a paper copy, bring it along and I'll be glad to sign it.

OTOH, my signature would probably lower the value of the book. 8^)

If you haven't bought it yet and don't want to wait till the convention, it's available in print, Kindle and Nook formats. You can find links on that page to the appropriate 3rd party pages (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc.) for each format at:

But if you want me to sign it at the convention, just remember that I can't sign Kindle and Nook versions. 8^(

They're also trying to get me some time on a local talk radio program, to talk about the book and plug the FairTax, while I'm in Ft. Worth. However, they're not sure yet, if they'll be able to get that part set up.

Be sure to stop by the FairTax booth at the convention. I'll see you there.

Update on Texas accomplishments and events:

 

Congressman Bill Flores, Dist. 17 , is the newest co-sponsor of HR 25, The FairTax.  This brings the total in Texas to 14 congressmen/women and 1 Senator.

 

Ed Sarlls, District Director, volunteered for a presentation at the 9-12 Association, The Woodlands, TX.  Thanks, Ed, for your spreading the word and your continued support.

 

I have funded FairTax booths for the Texas Republican Convention in Fort Worth, TX,  June 7-9, and the Texas Libertarian Convention, Dallas, TX, also June 7-9.   Volunteers are being recruited and assigned to run the booths.

 

Presently,  making plans to also fund and staff a FairTax booth for  the Texas Democratic Convention, Houston TX, also June 7-9.    Will keep all informed.

 

Go FairTax!

WOW! "The Rich Don't Pay Tax! …Or Do They?" is already selling great on Amazon and elsewhere and the real marketing push hasn't even started, yet. It's on the 1st page of the Amazon results for the search term, "FairTax" and it even beats "The FairTax Book" for the search term "income tax policy" and other terms.

This book is introducing people to the FairTax in a way that has not previously been addressed. The book is available in print, Kindle & Nook formats. It's written by a Texas native, FairTax activist and all around great guy... me. Check it out at http://TheRichDontPayTax.com/

Note: the "Buy" buttons on that site link to external sites like Amazon, for fulfillment. Also, check out the reviews on Amazon - All 5-Stars.

Thanks, Marv. I do have Marty's contact information and I'm friends with him on Facebook. I was just looking for others here who may also be interested.

Suggest you contact Marty Evans at fairtax@grandecom.net.  He has been active in the area.

Is there ANYONE in Corpus Christi (or immediate suburbs; Annaville, Calallan, Flour Bluff, TAMUCC, etc)  that would like to accompany me in promoting the FairTax? Just contact me.

I've started a blog promoting the FairTax.   http://fairtaxcometh.com/

Let me know what you think!

Thanks for that great information, Marv. I will repost on the FairTaxer Blog as soon as I can. We definitely need to get that out to the masses ASAP!

Repeal of the 16th Amendment is an extremely big issue. Two of the largest self-proclaimed think tanks, The Heritage Foundation and CATO, list that at one of their biggest, if not the biggest issue, thanks to Dan Mitchell who planted that seed at both the THF and CATO. It has been taken up by Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Laura Ingraham, who broadcast that comment. In fact, Herman Cain’s recent misstatement—that the 16th Amendment needs to be repealed before we can have the FairTax—may have had come as a result of Cain being bombarded by Rush, Hannity, Ingraham, THF, and CATO, with that indoctrination.


I have tendered the following document as a rebuttal to counter the argument. Anyone can use it if desired.
Thanks.

Both the FairTax and an income tax?? Repeal the 16th amendment first??

Since this argument has the biggest disagreements, it requires the longest answer, so:

Facts to the contrary:

1. The FairTax bill, HR 25, has a provision which repeals Sections A, B, and C of the IRS code (ie., all federal income taxes, alternative minimum tax, estate, gift, generation skipping tax, federal corporate income tax, and all payroll taxes and unemployment taxes). The voter would not support HR 25/S 13 if repealing Sections A, B, and C was not a part of the FairTax bill.
2. HJR 16, a resolution proposing an amendment to the constitution to repeal the 16th amendment to the Constitution is awaiting passage at the same time the FairTax bill passes.
3. Public support to repeal the 16th amendment before a tax replacement is announced, will not happen because the public would not know what to expect.
4. Repealing the 16th amendment before a replacement is enacted would kill any reform. That wouldn’t sail past Congress.
5. Repealing the 16th amendment after the FairTax passes (although 2/3 vote is required in the House and Senate with ¾ of the states ratifying) is easily conceivable when taxpayers enjoy a full paycheck, no business taxes, a robust economy, and economic growth.
6. Difficult to pass any amendment?? Really?? Impossible?? The same was said about women’s suffrage, the Berlin wall. Specific amendments passed: A-18 for prohibition; A-21 repealed A-18; A-17 for direct election of Senators; A-22, 2 terms for Presidents; A-26, 18 year olds could vote; all impossible, right??

Finally, it will require each taxpayer’s vigilance to assure they speak up when anyone hears there is possible legislation to have an income (or other tax) pass while we have the FairTax. There is also presently no statutory or constitutional provision to prevent a sales tax on top of our present income tax. Why doesn’t a congressman try to pass one? Hint: political suicide. The $22 million market research confirmed that people will not want an income tax with the FairTax. What does the taxpayer like? Have you heard any taxpayers prefer the income tax or flat tax when they know all the facts about the FairTax?

Past comments were that Congress has enacted our income tax 3 times before, and it stuck. One new difference. There was no other tax plan offered to replace the income tax in the past. There is now…..the FairTax.
