A Great Opportunity to Promote the FairTax on April 2

I have been notified by the Tax Foundation that on April 2, 2013, they will announce the date of the 2013 Tax Freedom Day. This announcement always generates a lot of media coverage. So it's a great opportunity for us to get the FairTax into the sidebars around the many Tax Freedom Day stories that will be all over the news on that day.The term sidebar is an old press term that has carried over into broadcast and internet news.

"David said: "I don't see anything in this that says anything about a child." The HHS guidelines for a family of two assume one adult and one child. So 303(a)(b) goes the long way around to say that for the FairTax, you subtract the…"

"David, the basis for the prebate is stated very clearly in HR-25, Sec. 303(a & b). It explains that the basis for a second adult in the household is to add in the difference between the allowance for a child and the allowance for the…"

"David, I noticed in your spreadsheet that you included a section for a Senate Flat Tax bill that has only one sponsor, no co-sponsors and no related bill in the House. Until a bill has at least 6 or 8 House co-sponsors and 2 or 3 Senate co-sponsors,…"

'Soak the Rich' is only filling the coffers of other nations

Barack Obama tells us that he will boost U.S. revenue by raising taxes on the rich. But the only nations that will see an increase in revenue, due to the president's "Soak the Rich" agenda, will be other nations.Obama's mantra, since before he was elected in 2008 has been, "Soak the Rich."But let's look at where his demonizing of the wealthy and attempts to punish their success have led.…See More

Congratulations, America! You finally did it!

Posted on April 12, 2011 at 4:00pm 1 Comment

Take a deep breath, America. You've finally worked long enough this year, to earn enough to pay your taxes for the whole year. Since the government claims first dibs on your money, this means that all of your work this year, up to now, has been for the government. But you can now start working for your own benefit.

 

Tax Freedom Day arrived 46 minutes after midnight, last night (April 12).

 

Tax Freedom Day is the…

Hi John!

Welcome to FairTax Nation!

FairTax Nation a site designed and managed by FairTax volunteers to serve the needs of FairTax advocates by providing a place to share ideas, find resources and create new opportunities with the goal of passing the FairTax HR 25.

On Nation we are working on many projects. One is our 50 State Campaign. We want to link at least 1,000 active volunteers in each state to work together in a national effort to pass the FairTax. That would give us at least 50,000 active volunteers able to communicate, plan events, etc. I know some people want a FairTax rally in Washington D.C. This is how we build the organization to make this event and many others possible.

Please feel free to invite your FairTax friends to join.

Thank you!

Please invite every FairTax supporter you know to join as well. We want to build an army of supporters as quickly as we can.

Thanks for Joining FairTax Nation!
