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?

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 |

At best, it would be greatly reduced in size. For those that are below the poverty line, other ammendments, refunds and services can be provided to offset anything they paid as part of a flat tax program. In fact, many of these services are already available today. I've heard this argument used time and time again. It never holds water. A flat tax system is by far, the most fair and easiest methods of collecting taxes. Even if I had to pay any extra two or three hunded dollars a year in taxes, it would easily be offset by the amount that I already pay in having my taxes done. Last I heard, if a flat tax program were to be implemented, the average American would pay +-500 dollars within what they currently pay. That means some of us would actually do better. Others would do slight worse. In either case, not having to pay for taxes services would certainly help to offset the difference. |

The IRS isn't the enemy. They are a necessary and legal part of our government. The enemy is Congress, who keeps passing absurdly more intricate and inscrutable tax laws, which must then be incorporated and interpreted by the IRS. Congress is supposedly made up of our representatives, but I haven't seen much evidence of that in my lifetime. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

They may be legal but they're certainly not necessary, especailly their Gestapo mentaility ("We're always right even when were wrong") The enemy is Congress, who keeps passing absurdly more intricate and inscrutable tax laws, which must then be incorporated and interpreted by the IRS. Which plays the bully with such relish. Congress is supposedly made up of our representatives, but I haven't seen much evidence of that in my lifetime. True enough but every time some Rep tries to reign in the IRS they get stepped on. |
