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.

Presidential candidate Governor Gary Johnson is the only candidate openly advocating for implementing the Fair Tax.

 

His official site: http://www.garyjohnson2012.com/

 

A great profile / Q&A with Governor Johnson: http://www.caseyresearch.com/articles/best-presidential-candidate-n...

 

"It might seem like he’d be embraced as a very popular, two-term GOP governor of New Mexico, a state with a 2-1 Democratic voter registration. (He’s the only governor running who maintains a better than 50% approval rating in his home state.) Obviously, he attracts the Independents and crossover Democrats that Republicans covet. He would probably beat Obama handily.

"The problem is, in addition to his lack of cash and flash, that he’s honest."

 

Gary Johnson’s track record as governor of New Mexico, 1995-2003:

* Gross state product (in current dollars) grew from $38.6B to $53.5B, up 38.6%.
* State budget went from $6.33B to $7.95B, 2.9% annual compounded growth.
* State revenues rose from $5.01B to $7.74B, a 5.5% compounded annual increase.
* Inherited a budget deficit of $1.32B. Submitted a balanced budget in 2003, the legislature added spending to produce a $209M deficit, which he vetoed, but the veto was overridden. Taking into account general reserves, left NM with a $1B in surplus funds.
* Taxes: cut top rate for personal income tax from 8.5% to 8.2%. Cut gasoline tax 6 cents/gal. Also cut state capital gains tax and unemployment tax.
* Per-capita personal income rose from $17,772 to $24,977, a gain of 40.5%.
* Unemployment rate dropped from 6.5% to 5.7%.

Hey 2nd district. Neil Walters might need some more information on the fair tax. Here's his recent video.

My son lives in Clinton and I am going to try to get him on board. Hopefully he will soon join the group.
