Doing What I can to Promote The FairTax.

Since I can't support our cause financially (SS doesn't allow for it), I can write letters to editors in my area. Perhaps others with limited means like me could do more than they realize doing the…Continue

I am constantly amazed at the lack of exposure to or knowledge of The FairTax on the part of everyday folks I encounter as I come and go. In the Doctor's offices, at the Hospital, barber shop, Church, Service Stations--almost everywhere I go, as I mention The FairTax I find an amazing number of folks out there who have no idea that such a taxing model exists!!! And, the politicos who are running for public offices are for the most part also ignorant of the FairTax! How can this be???!! …See More

cary henderson replied to Arthur Bruce Robertson's discussion Where Are the small business owners and CEOs?"This seems to be a problem with AFFT. Things get started then dropped.

Mark Crane replied to Arthur Bruce Robertson's discussion Where Are the small business owners and CEOs?"I too feel the AFFT has seriously dropped the ball when it comes to their web site.

Bill Rollyson replied to Arthur Bruce Robertson's discussion Where Are the small business owners and CEOs?"From my experience, large businesses (think GE, Home Depot, etc.) are against the FairTax. They are more concerned with using the tax code to control competition through lobbying than having an explicit zero rate. They can use other…"
Arthur Bruce Robertson replied to Arthur Bruce Robertson's discussion Where Are the small business owners and CEOs?"I agree 100%, Mark. So, I'm still wondering why an appeal to businesses of all sizes hasn't been long since undertaken to build support/momentum for enacting The FairTax??!! Where are all the big names (supporters) in…"
Mark Crane replied to Arthur Bruce Robertson's discussion Where Are the small business owners and CEOs?"Hooray Arthur. I completely agree. It makes absolutely no sense that a corporation would rather pay some lobbyists thousands of dollars to secure tax breaks, exemptions, and/or loopholes when supporting the Fairtax means no corporate taxes OR…"
Arthur Bruce Robertson replied to Arthur Bruce Robertson's discussion Where Are the small business owners and CEOs?"Could such 'perks' possibly equal the value of going from 35% income tax to ZERO tax??!

Mark Crane replied to Arthur Bruce Robertson's discussion Where Are the small business owners and CEOs?"I may be wrong, but I think a business that currently uses tax "exemptions and deductions" to fund business conferences, vacations, dinners for clients, etc, etc, would lose those supposed perks if the Fairtax is passed. It is very…"

One of the main features we trumpet when promoting the FairTax, is the fact that under the FairTax the Corporate income tax completely goes away, giving domestic corporations the best incentive to remain in America and expand, while enticing those who have fled to other shores to come back to the U.S. So, why don't we hear the CEOs of all such companies all standing up for The FairTax???!! They should be leading the charge in pushing Congress to adopt FairTax ASAP. Why aren't the lobbyists…See More

Been Reading H.R. 25, Have Questions
Posted on November 15, 2010 at 1:00pm 5 Comments 0 Likes
In general, I have been a promoter of The Fair Tax for several years now. However. recently I have been trying to better inform myself about the provisions of H.R. 25 so that I might be better armed to defend The Fair Tax from those who raise objections to it. In studying the bill itself, I have discovered additional questions THAT I HAVE about it, which I must ask and have answered before I can continue my support for it.
