Steve Forbes and Dick Armey are pushing the Flat tax as hard as they can. I have been posting the following on as many of their comment pages as I have time for. Perhaps others can comment that they agree with this post. \
The flat tax and the FairTax share some important similarities. They are both flat-rate taxes that are neutral with respect to savings and investment. The flat tax, however, retains the invasive income tax administration apparatus and can easily revert to a graduated,…

Ive been following the recent ACORN scandal where two journalists posed as a pimp and prostitute and went into an ACORN office in Baltimore trying to get tax information on a fake buisness, etc.. Now as most of us are well aware, ACORN has not gone unnoticed of their fishy and criminal behavior in the recent past, so i was not greatly surprised at what i saw and heard. The issue that has been bothering me is that the different people in the media who have been covering this, not one has…

The sunny summer weather we have been enjoying as the kids go back to school is going to be replaced by clouds and rain as we look forward to
The 9-12 March On DC so pack your rain gear so you will be comfortable while you are making your representatives uncomfortable, especially if you are going to be travelling in your camper and planning on Wal*Marting overnight.
The weather forecast is for it to be in the low 60's on Friday…

Healthcare Reform.
Tort Reform:
Civil attorneys have destroyed entire industries in America. The small aircraft industry does not exist in America today because of civil suits. The country that was the first to venture into the sky and pioneered the aircraft industry was sued out of existence by trial lawyers. In the early 1980’s the last remaining small aircraft manufacturer closed its doors and left America. Anyone who has ventured into the business world in…

There are only two ways to get the money to pay for government: either tax Americans who are living, or steal it from generations of Americans not born yet.
Deficit spending is stealing from future generations; in the fiscal year coming to a close this month, we have stolen nearly $2 trillion more of their money, and Congress will take another heaping helping when they pass the 2010 appropriations…

OBAMA-CARE AKA HR3200 is closer to becoming a reality than most Americans realize. They are going to use the Camel’s nose under the tent approach! This is a method in politics that has been used since the beginning of the Progressive Era that started with Teddy Roosevelt (Republican) and Woodrow Wilson (Democrat) at the turn of the twentieth century.
The scheme goes like this; they say that they are abandoning the public option and then proceed with a provision that says that if the…

I wrote an earlier article challenging the American people to employ economic sanctions against the federal government, for the purpose of sending a message to Washington that the American people are not going to stand by and do nothing while their country is bankrupted and destroyed by the Congress and this administration. I received quite a few replies from people who were concerned that we may also hurt our local economies and our neighbors in the process. No major battle can be fought…

Why is GOOOH.com important to the FairTaxers? Because 80% of GOOOH supporters say they would vote FOR the FairTax if they were in Congress. This is a viable plan to take back our country and enact the FairTax!!!
This is written by Tim Cox, creator of GOOOH.com, and posted here by Laura McCue
Latest Poll: America says FIRE Congress!
Did you see the latest Rasmussen poll? A mere 25% of voters nationwide, when asked if they would keep or replace the entire…

Why we must March on Washington

Throughout history governments have ignored the rights of citizens and instead have maximized their own power. Those in public office have used it for their own personal gain, or to take wealth from some and give to others in order to maintain their own power. It is a classic model that hasn’t changed much in thousands of years.
The modern iteration of this is a leviathan federal government…

So why are we all wee-weed up about health care? Because our politicians are forcing us to take sides in a contest between insurance companies and government bureaucrats. If that were a death match, most of us would be secretly hoping for a tie.
They are making this way more complicated than it needs to be.
Two years ago, I was wheeled in to Aspirus Hospital in Wausau, Wisconsin,…

OOP's I forgot my camera. Hello again, yes I forgot my camera, but we had a good meeting anyway. Colin Malaker gave a good presentation. Beside the folks that were already FairTax members we had 4 or 5 very interestsed folks.
Doesn't sound like many but if theses folks can bring one in next time then we have 10, from 10 to 20 and so on. I believe we will be able to grow three distinct groups in time.
In Missouri we have about a fourteen month window to get information on…

Its been awhile since I've visited. Things have been hectic. Work my Family and Fair tax work have kept me busy. Wed night we'll have an informational meeting in Centralia Mo. I have talked to several people and have had alot of interest .I hope all who have expressed an interest will show up. In my neck of the woods I have yet to find anyone who, once they are told about the Fair Tax, is against it.
I am going to try to get some pics or maybe a little video and post it here. However I…

Economic Boycott of the Federal Government
“First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win” Mahatma Gandhi
In early 2009 we threw Tea Parties and they ignored us, on April 15th 2009 we threw Tea Parties and they ridiculed us, in summer 2009 we threw Tea Parties and they fought us.
Now we can win!!
We can rally the American people around one simple and effective plan; we can pledge to not spend one thin dime beyond…

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…
