IRS commissioner doesn't file his own taxes

By Bob Cusack - 01/10/10 11:54 PM ET
IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman does not file his own taxes in part because he believes the tax code is complex.

During an interview on C-SPAN's "Newsmakers" program that aired on Sunday, Shulman said he uses a tax preparer for his own returns.

"I've used one for years. I find it convenient. I find the tax code complex so I use a preparer," Shulman said.

Pressed on how he would make the tax code simpler, Shulman responded, "I don't write the tax laws. Con… Continue

Help name our April 15 event!

We need creative FairTaxers to help us come up with a name for our FairTax event in Washington DC on April 14, 15, & 16.

The week of April 14 to April 19 is going to be a big week for citizen action in DC and FairTax is going to be in the lead. We need a name to use for our event. Something that someone who knows nothing about the FairTax may see the name and say -- gee I would like to attend that event!

This is a very tentative idea of what we would like to do in DC to promote the FairTax… Continue

National Spokesman or National Spokesmen team?

In discussing a National Spokesman with many of you, the idea has arisen that a team of spokesmen may be preferable. We need a very visible presence in the media and it may be more effective the have a team economists, CPAs, parents, etc. available to speak to the issues surrounding the FairTax. For example if the subject is small business - a small business owner may be our best spokesman.

What do you think?

Grassroots Events PA, Netroots, Right Online and more...

If you have been watching C-SPAN this past weekend, you would have seen programing from two very important events in Pittsburgh, PA -- Netroots, a conference of left leaning bloggers, and Right Online, a conference of right leaning bloggers. FairTax was, and needed to be, at both events.

I attended the Netroots event and I can report we were warmly received. We had a few "I am not interested" and two who were concerned we were a right wing organization because Mike Huckabee endorsed the FairTax… Continue

Hi Marilyn,

I sent this message to Sean Fagan, and wanted you to be aware. Carol and I are just now getting back to participation and want to discuss new activities for 2010.

Mike

Hi Sean,

I don't think I met you yet, but I have worked with Jim Tomasik and Marilyn Rickert in the past with my wife Carol. We were on the program in the Midwest Rally in Columbia,Mo last year and met Phil Hinson during that event. We were part of many activities last year with FairTax Nation, FairTax.org, and various State groups (NC, Florida, SC, Georgia, and Missouri). We started the Grass Roots Freedom Ride for FairTax that takes place in 2010, which FairTax.org adopted and set up a Convio program to track and promote the involvement for this year's ride.

Unfortunately, a lot of our involvement and activities had to be sidelined in 2009 when we opened the Grass Roots Cafe in Horse Shoe, NC last July (a visible FairTax business model), but Carol and I are now recovering and beginning to pick up the pace on the program.

We will be in DC for the Storm the Hill event, and I would like to talk to you and Phil about working together and participating in the event. I think we add a lot of value and exposure with the FairTax Bike, the Grass Roots Freedom Ride, and other groups we are part of (TEA Party nation, Goooh, Sons of Liberty, etc.).

Are you and/or Phil available for a phone call? I think my ideas and thoughts are best expressed verbally, and would be most efficient rather than just exchanging emails. In any case, I look forward to bringing more excitement and participation in the Storm the Hill event however it works out. This is any exciting time for all of us, with a lot of work to do.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Mike McLean
Director

Marilyn, Will there be another rally in D.C. on this September?

I just took the Fair Tax on-line survey about how to spend resources for getting the word out. I chose T.V. and radio ads because there was not an "other" option.

My preference would be fairly inexpensive:

I think it would be helpful to have DVDs for sell in the Fair Tax on-line store to be purchased by those of us who want to make a presentation to a group of people but don't really have the knowledge or speaking abilities! I belong to a tea party group that would be very interested in watching such a video.

There are tea party groups in cities all over the nation. If we could team up with them, I think it would be an excellent way to reach a large number people who are concerned about our country, who are activists, fiscally conservative and who are hungry to learn about ways we can make our country better! I think educating tea party members would cause an explosion of interest around the country!

What do you think?

Hi Marilyn the members search seems to be working. Thanks. Billie

Hi Marilyn, I just tried "Members search" again and I think I got 6 for OH and I tried "Orient" and just got one. I believe there are more than that in both searches. Have you given me permission to add names? Billie

Thanks, I sent invitations to about 10 people on Saturday; so I want to see if any of them join. Billie

Hi Marilyn, I have not been active on FairTaxNation recently. Yesterday I tried to pull up the OH members and I got about 6. I tried again today and got the same. What am I doing wrong? Billie

Marilyn,

He's a politician, what would you expect. Volcalizing a Flat Tax is a middle of the road position. He still makes a good ally and a possible 2012 Presidental candidate. Turn him for the FairTax and he would become an even better Huckabee.
