The Fair Tax: Let’s abolish the IRS!!

“I’d like you to join me at the best “Going Out of Business” sale I can imagine – one held by the Internal Revenue Service. …{The Fair Tax would} completely eliminate all federal income and payroll taxes. And do I mean all – personal federal, corporate federal, gift, estate, capital gains, alternative minimum, Social Security, Medicare, self-employment. All our hours filling out forms, all our payments for help with those forms, all our shopping bags filled with disorganized receipts, all our headaches and heartburn from tax stress will vanish. Instead we will have the FairTax, a simple tax based on wealth. When the FairTax becomes law, it will be like waving a magic wand releasing us from pain and unfairness.” - Mike Huckabee


Did you know that the IRS tax code is over 67,000 pages long? Well it is and this means that not one member of congress has ever read the whole tax code, just as they did not read the so called “stimulus bill” that was recently passed through congress.

Did you also know that American Taxpayers spend more than 260 billion dollars each year just in compliance costs to file their taxes each year? I know the government has no regard for our taxpayer dollars as they continue to increase spending, but don’t you think that this $260 billion could be better spent elsewhere?

I believe that one of the key reasons that the government does not want to enact the Fair Tax is because as long as they have control over the tax code then they get to pick who gets tax cuts and who gets the loopholes and who does not. It is time to end this nonsense and enact the Fair Tax!

The Fair Tax would be a simple sales tax on new goods that would likely be around 23%. It also has a prebate built in for all Americans so the poor would be basically untaxed. This would mean that most of us would pay 5-10% less in Federal Income Taxes per year! I calculated that I would pay over $2000 less in Federal Taxes.

The result of the Fair Tax could very well be the largest economic boom in American history as business would flock back to the US because they would no longer have to pay a 35% income tax (one of the largest in the world), but instead they could come back to US and create jobs here again for you and me.

If you are tired of the hours you spend each year filing taxes and the control that government has over the massive tax code then join Mike Huckabee and me in supporting the Fair Tax!

If you are attending a Tax Day TEA party rally then bring your Fair Tax signs to the Rally! Or if you are in the South Carolina area on April 15th you can go to the National Fair Tax Rally with Mike Huckabee, Neil Boortz and many others. For more details click on the following link.
