Well, Don, I can top that. As some of you know, as an employer, I must pay
employee withholding (Medicare/Medicaid and Federal) tax, known as "941
Tax."


Ever wonder why we have all this silliness of 940's & 941's & W2's and
Rainforests in Iowa? It really shouldn't be a surprise, any system of taxation
and spending based on a complex deception should be expected to have goofy
results and applications.

Anyone smart enough to fill out a flight plan has already figured out that
taxes on corporations are really taxes on the consumers of whatever that
corporation sells. But the same thing is really true of payroll taxes on
individuals as well.

But, this thread gives me the opportunity to invite you and our flying friends
to a rally we will be hosting here in Virginia for the FairTax (
www.fairtax.org ) on the morning of Saturday, May 1st, in hopes of changing
that.

No one would be in favor of the federal government building a rainforest in
Iowa unless they believed someone else was paying for it. But more than half
the voters in the country are under the illusion that anything that comes from
the government is "free" to them because they pay little, if any income tax.
The reality is that we all pay for these silly expenditures. On average, 22% of
the price of everything you buy, from bread to brain surgery, is really someone
else's Federal income and FICA taxes, concealed in the cost of those goods and
services. Depending on where you live, state and local taxation bring that
share of costs of goods and services to between 40% and 48%, all in an
invisible sales tax that hardly anyone is aware they are paying. The FairTax
would change all that, eliminating all payroll taxes, the IRS, the 16th
Amendment and replacing them with an honest, visible retail sales tax.

This would be cost and revenue neutral, as prices would fall and paychecks
(since no income or FICA taxes would be withheld) would rise just enough to
cover the sales tax. So, why do it? The answer is CLARITY. Everyone would know
what government really costs them. It would be printed on every invoice,
receipt and sales slip. For the first time in our lifetimes, everyone, rich and
poor alike, would know how the burden of taxation falls on all of us. Imagine
trying to sell the idea of an Iowa rainforest to a working mother when she
learns that SHE is paying for it(and has been paying for dumb stuff like that
all along), and not just some rich guy or evil corporation.

This measure could indeed change everything, but it faces an uphill battle. The
major politcal parties have no interest in it. The Democrat Party exists to
soak the rich. The Republican Party exists to protect the successful from the
Democrats. Both Democrats and Republicans are in no hurry to have the people
learn that all these years, they have really been soaking everybody, and their
battles have been nothing more than a farce, fought over an illusion. So, if
this is to happen, it will have to be demanded by the grass roots, and that
means those who lead in their community and in business. And, many of those
folks are right here.

So, I am inviting you to attend the May 1st rally here in Chesapeake, VA, which
will be the kickoff of the national campaign to move HR 25, the FairTax bill
forward in Congress. We will provide transportation from CPK and ORF to low
cost hotels near the Chesapeake Conference Center on the Friday before the
rally and back to the airports afterward. I hope many of you here will attend
and become part of this movement to fix what is wrong in this country.

If you are interested in participating, Email me at for more
information and updates as the event gets closer.
