Reagan and the Fairtax!

What Ronald Reagan wanted was Common Sense Government. Reagan said, "Now, so there will be no misunderstanding, it's not my intention to do away with government. It is rather to make it work -- work with us, not over us; to stand by our side, not ride on our back. Government can and must provide opportunity, not smother it; foster productivity, not stifle it.” Even Reagan’s bold plan, he knew his plan was the final answer, but only the beginning at… Continue

If we take the former Health and Human Services nominee, the secretary of the Treasury and the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee at face value, federal taxes owed but not paid by each are really an indictment of the income tax system itself.

Say it’s not so Mr. President

Here we go again another of President Obama’s appointee’s forgot to pay his taxes. I say forgot because when you are a Liberal you just forget but if you’re not a Liberal it’s tax evasion. He said the tax code is just too difficult to understand and he did not know that he had to pay taxes on certain types of income and then he said he was sorry. Trouble is this time this guy Tom Dassel when he was a Senator helped to write the tax code. High ranking Democrat’s are coming to his defense also… Continue

House Ways and Means Committee

I am District Director for NJ-8. I am trying to start a weekly letter campaign to the House Ways and Means Committee. I believe any real effort for Federal tax reform will have to start with this Committee.

My goal is to have a campaign that runs up to April 15th.

I have compiled an Excel spreadsheet that has the contact information for each member that can be used as a Word mail merge. This file can be found in the Forum for "House Ways and Means Commitee:. I have also… Continue

American Dream or American Nightmare (Housing, Bubbles, and the FairTax)

What does the American Dream mean to you? Perhaps each of us has our own definition but at its core it probably includes to live a peaceful and prosperous life. But where does home ownership fit in? Isn’t that part of the dream? Well, if you ask many at this particular snapshot in time, home ownership is definitely a dream… a nightmare.

Why did our government put so much emphasis on home ownership as part of the American Dream? One key reason is that it needed to create more demand… Continue

We must be willing.

"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat." -- Theodore Roosevelt

Dear Great Americans,

We must be willing to dare mighty things, as President Roosevelt so eloquently said it. We must be willing to stand up to the powers that be, and say to them, we will not sit back quietly… Continue

Please Stop the Borrow-and-Spend "Stimulus" Bill and Consider the FairTax

Dear President Obama and Senators Feinstein, Boxer, Reid, and McConnell,
