"Fix the ridiculuous tax system. It seems like politicians and fat cats don't have to pay taxes. But the middle class gets stuck with the bill.

"We need the FairTax."

Well the middle class system is a joke anyway, instead of a fair tax system we have everyone trying to get pseudo rich, that's why they stay in debt. The big joke is that there is no real middle class, what you really have are Technical positions and Executive management. Since both the Republican and Democratic party both lack imagination the simple ideas both use are equally wrong. Their ideas are just to simple minded. Like right now, the rescue plan is little more than throwing money at the problem and hope it goes away. The fat cat republicans and power broker Dems don't want this kind of tax, it's just a hot topic issue to draw votes. Fair taxes after all make it hard to spend on legislated fat. It not only needs to be a Fair tax, but the income tax needs to go away. Trust me, you want to defeat NAFTA thats the best way to nationalize our industry. We need a stimulus in the form of Smart Tax policy, not big tax policy. Regulate taxes to purchased goods, sales taxes. Immigrants want to live here, fine, let them stay, make it impossible for them to leave and make them pay 50% penalty tax for the rest of their lives. Maybe let them burn off some of the time serving in the Army for say 6 years. We need the same small business access for our young Americans that we give Indian hotel owners.
We also don't need the IRS, we can filter all the money directly through our treasury, of course the people making billions from the IRS and private banking don't want that to happen either, but ask yourself how many billions a year you save not paying for that bureaucracy. How much do you save getting all your money up front, not paying a company or waiting months to get what is yours to begin with? This isn't a middle, lower or upper class issue this is a Smart Taxation policy issue. Now if the US government has to tax the goods we purchase thus hurting the revenue of our Businesses like say Wallmart, you might think they will have to be a little more transparent before they fleece us eh? I mean it's easy to take advantage of us, but put that ball in the hands of software giants like Microsoft or companies like AT@T then in effect the government would have to overtax their own moneylenders to screw us next time.

Just sent my two cents worth, It was harsh but I felt necessary. I sincerly hope I get a return corespondence ; )

Mr Biden, I understand you are "thinking" about the middle class, might I suggest you look at our country as a whole. All Classes are in trouble from way up high to the lowest of the low. Our country's taxation is completely out of control just as our goverment is. If the "goverment" really wants to be part of the solution it would implement the FAIR TAX! All of you up there know we want it but yet you continue to feed us your bad policies and socialistic ideas. WE DO NOT WANT BIGGER GOVERMENT, Do you understand that! the goverment is the WHOLE and ENTIRE reason we are in the mess we are in, Goverment is not nor has ever been the answer or salvation, we as Amercians have become lazy and ALLOWED our goverment to take the reighns, now as all spoiled children do, you all are crying because YOU! got us in more hot water than we can swim out of. Your "porkulus" package is a joke and by the way let me say a hardy thank you for that BIG Tax Break you and our President promised ( the one for 95% of America...) We are SO grateful for that $13.95 each week. Are you kidding me? Why don't you just spit in our faces it would be quicker and more to the point. This next four years is going to turn our wonderful country into the next South Africa. Our founder fathers would be so asshamed of what "our" goverment has done to "our" country. Remember this is OUR COUNTRY and the goverment works for US, not the other way around. FAIR TAX is what we NEED and what we "the People" DEMAND. You and the rest of our goverment might want to start listening to "THE PEOPLE" We are not all stupid and we are not all sheep. We want the FAIR TAX!
Please by all means you have my contact number, mailing address and E-mail contact me if you have questions or concerns or simply can not seem to understand, I promise I will take all the time that is needed to explain, heck I'll even use little words.

My Warmest Regards,
Lady Tamara Stillwell
