How is switching to a tax on consumption going to help? We already have
sales taxes.
If you don't buy much .. you don't pay much tax. It would be too hard to
enforce.
The answer is the flat tax. Just like Soc Sec .. EVERYONE pays the same
percent of their income. Period. No deductions. No sliding scale. No cutoff.
Nothing. If you made $2000 last year you pay the same
percent of your income as the guy who made $2 million. Handled through
payroll deduction.
The problem is that CPAs, tax attorneys and everyone else involved in
handling the
current nightmare tax system would never let it happen. Their PACs would be
paying off
every congress critter out there to prevent it.

How about making April 15th just another day?

American businesses will spend more just on the cost of compliance
with the IRS code than we spend on the war on terror, and we do it
EVERY year,
with no end in sight.

Our current tax code is fair to no one, cripples our manufacturers in
competition in the world market, and rips the country apart with class
warfare.

There is a better way.

On May 1st, thousands of grassroots supporters will stand in
solidarity to promote the FairTax System. Admission is free and
breakfast will be served, so come join us from 8 AM to Noon at the
Chesapeake Convention Center located at 900 Greenbrier Circle,
Chesapeake, Virginia 23320. (CPK, ORF) Transportation can be arranged
from ORF or CPK to the event.

You will hear Neal Boortz speak about the FairTax and learn how you
can be a part of the effort to scrap the current tax system and
replace it with one that is fair to everyone, simple in compliance,
easily enforced, even for the underground economy and bring clarity to
the true cost of government.
