Embedded Taxes, this concept is key!

FairTax~ the concept of embedded taxes is very important to understanding the fairtax. This is where we lose lots of people, so let's see if a simple explanation can win them back.

It's very simple if a toaster costs $100 before the fairtax it will costs $100 after the fairtax is implemented. Currently their is a 22% embedded fed tax on everything you purchase. Consisting of taxes on materials, tax burden of employees that make the products and Corporate taxes paid out by the… Continue

FairTax, How it can Empower You?

FairTax is a revolutionary change in the relationship between government and its citizenry! Currently American citizens are represented by congress, but not before our amazing elected representatives take care of the K-Street lobbyists.

Lobbyists exists for one reason, to represent their companies or individual concerns and try and take advantage of available tax loopholes. In all honesty, who can blame companies for sending lobbyists to DC to try and protect as much of their capital… Continue

How Easy is it to Fix this Economy?

How easy is it to fix this economy? I would suggest that it's simple but the answer is not a freindly one in the eyes of the entrenched beaurocrats.

1st step, eliminate all Corp taxes. Understand businesses don't pay taxes, they are merely collectors for the state. A tax levied on a business will show up as a tax to the consumer in the form of higher priced goods. Elimination of these taxes would drive down the real costs of all purchased goods and services.

Eliminate all… Continue

Absurd Economics

Absurd Economics

Our basic fiscal policy is absurd and should be scrapped. Largely devised seventy to a hundred years ago, it is hopelessly antiquated and is ill suited to our present highly automated global environment. Most all of our taxes and often healthcare are embedded in the prices that must be charged for things produced by American firms and American labor. This hinders our ability to fund needed programs and makes us less competitive globally.

To have… Continue

Get Out Of Our House: Revolution!

FairTaxers! Finally there is a viable plan to get the FairTax done. “Texan” Tim Cox, M.B.A., has written a new book, “Get Out Of Our House: Revolution! A New Plan for Selecting Representatives”. The acronym for the book and organization is GOOOH pronounced, “GO!”. GOOOH is a plan to unseat all existing members of the U.S. House of Representatives and replace them with sponsored grassroots conservative candidates. I believe the plan can work. Please visit www.goooh.com now to see what it is all… Continue

The FairTax at The Asheville TEA Party

The FairTax had a great day at the TEA Party! We collected over $250 in donations for more supplies and just as many new signatures of support. I will be adding all these new names to our email list which brings us to 1000 people in WNC District 11 who support the FairTax! That should have some power with Heath Shuler who I will be inviting to sit down and talk with us again soon. Thank you so much to all those who chose to spend their July 4th afternoon volunteering to work for the… Continue

Enumerated Powers

Enumerated Powers

Article 1 Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution spells out the powers that were delegated to the Federal Government. These are known as the Enumerated Powers. The Tenth Amendment to the Bill of Rights reiterates this by retaining all powers not vested in the Federal Government to the States and the people respectively.

The first thing you need to decide for yourself is whether the representatives from the states that created and ratified the Constitution and… Continue

I strongly urge all Tea Party Organizers to NOT allow ANY politician or candidate for office to be listed on ANY agenda to speak.

I strongly urge all Tea Party Organizers to NOT allow ANY politician or candidate for office to be listed on ANY agenda to speak.

There are plenty of opportunities for politicians to promote their candidacy "on the ground" mingling with citizens if they desire to attend a Tea Party, but should NOT be permitted a "venue" to speak on the platform of the Tea Party Movement.

The Tea Party Movement was never intended to be a platform for future politicians, it is a movement… Continue

Income Tax, Fair Tax, Flat Tax Comparison chart

This is a great handout. I find it to be the best way to help people to see that there are only three ideas on the table right now in the form of current or proposed legislation. I advise them to review this comparison chart and then choose which one they want to support and then SUPPORT IT! The FairTax will always win.

See what you think. If you like it, save it to your favorites file, print more copies, and hand them… Continue

Reach out to the more environmentally aware

I have a couple of ideas to reach more people regarding the FairTax:

1. Reusable shopping bags (e.g. http://www.reusethisbag.com/custom.asp#reusablegrocerybags)

When I ran a booth at a festival, I saw that an insurance company was passing out the reusable shopping bags for people to use to collect info. The bag had their logo on it. I have similar bags from Meijer and Lowes (instead of using… Continue

IRS defining insanity. Kill it with the FairTax.

I.R.S. CREATES TAXPAYER CONFUSION ON DUE DATES Form TD F 90-22.1 REPORT OF FOREIGN BANK AND FINANICAL ACCOUNTS (“FBAR”) This I.R.S. assumes taxpayers and tax advisors have a duty to search for complex revised FAQs hidden deep in their website and digest the information, advise our clients and take action within a week before a filing deadline…all under the threat of large penalties. In addition, clients misinterpret the rules – easy to do -- and now… Continue

NONPARTISANSHIP - For Jessica Wexler

BRAVO, Jessica! You could have been reading from my mind about the frustrations of dealing with those who would rather talk about their dislike of the current administration than about our mission to make the Fair Tax the law of the land. I can't tell you how many times I've also wondered what I was doing among them but comforted myself with the fact that once we have the Fair Tax in place it'll matter much less who is president.

I would very much like to "talk" to you in a venue… Continue
