Email to Sen. Bill Nelson of FL

I've been trying to do my part to express my point-of-view to our "lovely and fair elected officals," but it just doesn't seem to get across. In his recent reply, he stated that he voted against the Bush Administration's bailout plan, but voted Obama's in. Sometimes, I just don't get it. Anyway...here's my latest reply to the Senator. To be honest...I really don't think those people on the Hill really know what kind of damage they're causing to people like you and me.....really makes you… Continue

How Much... for Inquiring minds Op-Ed Idea

Take for example the Avg Congressman's best years in today's dollars and privately

ask him.... or better yet the average family of six? and ask them (or yourself if the shoe

fits)

How Much would you be able to spend IF the FairTax was in place when

you were raising (or if currently raising) your children?

Somebody with the facts could easily weave a story about theFairTax

(I am not a good writer) and get it published...

We just need the best… Continue

Our country run by lobbyists, aided and abetted by politicians

Go to ourcaucus.com and watch the videos (called Articles) for a real education on why our country is broke and how our politicians have sold us out - both republican and democrat. The series end with an endorsement (not in video as the series is not yet complete) of a National Sales Tax as well as a change in congressional budgeting procedure. They don't call the National Sales Tax the FairTax, but the explanation is the FairTax.

Anyone know about the group that put together these… Continue

A FairTax Phenomenon by John Collet

Brother and Sister FairTax Supporters

It is 1:30 Saturday, 2/28 and I am recovering from one of the most delightful shocks of my life. This morning Kansas City experienced one of the worst blizzards I have ever seen in this city. By 8:00 AM some parts of the areas had 5 inches on the ground and it was increasing in intensity.

Earl Long, KS SD, and I thought it would be impossible to have an out door rally that anticipated a mile walk from the starting point to MO Senator… Continue

FOO, Harry Reid and the whole 'voluntary' federal income tax thing

I am really mystified by this whole federal income tax thing. And the older I get, the more mystified I get – and that has nothing to do with the fact that the tax code is comprised of 3.4 million words that are compressed into 60 lines on each of its 7,500 pages and is written in a language that may be understood by the Klingons or the Arkalians, but it's certainly not anything close to English. Read it

here for yourself if it's not already… Continue

Congressman Steve King (IA) Talks to FairTaxNation , Part I

FairTaxNation Has a Conversation with Iowa's FairTax Cosponsoring Representative Steve King. 3/06/09 7;30 AM FairTaxNation: Rep King, We are very pleased that you have been as outspoken as you have been concerning FairTax. There's been a lot of grumbling among FairTax supporters who have been pushing this a long time. This is partly due to the fact that we don't see a lot of leaders standing up and saying "You know, FairTax would work a whole… Continue

We Might End Up With Both

This is a common refrain from some conservatives who otherwise say they would support the FairTax. Therefore they claim the 16th amendment must be repealed first, because you can’t trust Congress. Of course they know the 16th amendment would never be repealed unless the replacement for the income tax was already in place. That is the claimed reason they prefer a flat income tax.

Let’s reverse the question. What prevents Congress from simply adding a VAT or other sales tax to the… Continue

DOOM AND GLOOMERS: GET A LIFE

Come on. How much of this doom and gloom stuff can you take? You would think that the end of all Life was at hand.

I have researched doom and gloomers, and much to my surprise I found that they usually do a very good business telling others that the end is near. All the while they get you to sell your stocks, your belongings, and sometimes your soul, at a bargain price, TO THEM, and then turn around and make a good profit from it.....… Continue

It is estimated that over 38 Million people have a IRS Fed Tax Debt problems.

I really believe that the fairTax will eliminate the unfair Tax Debt Burden that so many millions of people have at the present time. This last year many people have been hurt by the Real Estate equity devaluation.

Short sales and Foreclosures are creating 1099 - C "income" Tax issues for millions of people this year.

I have been working with a company, Carter Capital, that handles individuals Tax Debt problems by negotiating with the IRS Fed and State Tax collectors.

By using… Continue

You cannot help small men by tearing down big men.

You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.

You cannot lift the wage-earner by pulling down the wage-payer.

You cannot help the poor man by destroying the rich.

You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income.

You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.

You cannot establish security on borrowed… Continue

I am wearing heavy boots, so those of you who have sensitive toes, please stop reading now, because I will step on them, and it will smart.

It is time to purge from the ranks of Conservatives those who are not truly and really Conservatives.

THE AMERICAN GULAG IS ALREADY HERE?

The Redistribution of the Wealth Program is here.

The American Gulag is here, and it is YOU.

If you are a producer, owner of a small business, earn $250,000 a year or more, YOU are the concentration camp. If you make less than that, you are paying in other ways. Those that are taxed will pass that cost to you.

The new American Gulag is a device by which the socialist administration of Barack Obama, and the socialist Democrat Party majority of the House and… Continue
