Invitiation to the end of the IRS
Rally for America
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. For more information, see www.Fairtax.org or call 1-800-FAIRTAX ext 110 |

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. "Don Tabor" wrote in message om... Rally for America How about making April 15th just another day?

with the IRS code than we spend on the war on terror, and we do it EVERY year, with no end in sight. Man, that's for sure. I just paid over $1000 for my corporate taxes, for the second year in a row. Until last year it was running about $600 per year. That is money that SHOULD have gone to my employees, or into landscaping, or remodeling another suite -- but instead I must pay it out to some bean-counter who pretends to understand the tax code. And this is all ON TOP OF the hotel tax I pay. ....And the state sales tax. ....And FICA. ....And Medicare. ....And federal withholding. ....And FUTA. ....And State Unemployment. The truly sad thing is that I do all the taxes except the year-end stuff myself, without difficulty. But my year-end tax return is so complex that I can't possibly understand it (The return itself is over two inches thick. The supporting documentation is over a foot thick.), and don't even pretend to read it. I just sign on the bottom line, and fork over the dough. It's criminal, and it must be fixed, soon. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

EVERYONE pays the same percent of their income. Period. No deductions. No sliding scale. No cutoff. I disagree. A flat tax does not gather in criminal income. You still rely on the taxpayer to report income. A fed consumption tax applies to all -- criminals and law-abiders alike. Drug dealers and wise-guys buy boats and cars and clothes and stuff just like everyone else, and more so in many cases. By including criminal income, you'd probably triple the available taxable pool. 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. The real issue is that Congress would fight it tooth and nail. Without the IRS code, Congress loses their ability to try to force behavior from certain groups, and to dabble in social engineering. The IRS code is what gives Congress the power to hurt their adversaries, and they won't give it up without a fight. |

But my year-end tax return is so complex that
I can't possibly understand it I hardon the radio recently that the IRS sent their "experts," posing as ordinary consumers, to get tax advice from various IRS offices. The advice they got was wrong in something like 39 out of 43 cases. vince norris |

The answer is the flat tax. I used to be in favor of that but the problem is that a flat tax is, in fact, a regressive tax. Yeah, I know everyone pays the same percentage but $200.00 a year to someone making $10,000.00 a year is still a lot while $2000.00 a year to someone making a hundred grand really isn't that much. A national sales tax is a much more-better idea. You buys lots of stuff? You pays The Man. This would also encourage folks to save instead of spending more than they make. . . . Aw hell, I wasn't gonna even reply to this silly thread but couldn't help it. I'm going to bed before I get wound up. -- Jim Fisher |
