FairTax Friday

Weekly Newsletter

SEPTEMBER 18, 2009

“We can disagree on how government should spend our money; we can agree on how government should collect our taxes.”

The National Campaign to win passage of the FairTax is set to begin next month, in October. Your Campaign will target every one of the more than 140 million voters in the country.

The FairTax is right for every American who wants the best for our country, and is not a part of the privileged political class. Republicans, Democrats, Independents, Libertarians, Liberals, Conservatives, Moderates….all win under the FairTax.

As a former Obama Campaign Director said, ““While we can disagree on how government should spend our money; we can agree on how government should collect our taxes.”

As a Reagan Republican said, “I find that for the first time in my life, I can agree with the liberal Democrats who work with me on something…the FairTax and how badly the United States, our economy, and our people need it and need it now.”

The first round of the fight, for passage in Congress, begins next month, in October. It will continue until we win. Period. There will be no turning back.

We can settle for no less than victory. Our economy and our nation desperately needs for us to win. Our exploding federal debt desperately needs for us to win. And, we all know our country cannot continue to sustain the massive damage which is being inflicted upon us by the IRS, the 67,500+ pages of Tax Code, the special interests that suck the blood from our very national body with their slick maneuvering of the tax code language.

Consider the damage the IRS does to just one, but one very vital, part of the U. S. economy. Small businesses are by far the biggest generators of new jobs and economic growth in our country. Yet it is small businesses that are the hardest hit by the tax code and tax preparation. It costs small business $700 in tax preparation expenses for every one hundred dollars a small business pays in taxes (Source: The Tax Foundation).

Then look at the cost to individuals of IRS tax preparation. We spend $300 billion every year measuring, tracking, sheltering, documenting, and filing our annual income. We pay professional income tax preparers billions every year, and they have an error rate of 99%!!! If the professionals are wrong 99% of the time, what chance does the average person have? And, if you make a mistake, the IRS can try and put you in prison.

The FairTax will end this forever. No tax is easier to collect, 44 states have sales taxes. Tax fraud is virtually nonexistent, tax preparation is zero, small businesses can easily handle a sales tax, and the cost of collecting the FairTax will be very near zero!
