My Prediction if the Fairtax is passed

Posted on 09/22/2007 7:18:53 PM PDT by netvictory

Conservative Movement

Rush Limbaugh accuracy rating is lowered to 10% because he totally missed the biggest political paradigm change in history, which destroyed liberalism in America.  

Democrat party fails to elect anyone to Congress because they opposed the Fairtax and kept trying to change it. 

Union membership drops to less than 1% because Union leadership runs the Democrat Party.Joe Morecraft III and Walter Williams start a movement to replace the Fairtax with the head tax. No one listens or cares about the head tax, except for Rush Limbaugh who jumps on board. Rush's accuracy rating is lowered another 5 points.

Every Evangelical pastor, conservative leader and Republican candidate claims he was for the Fairtax when the Fairtax wasn't cool.

Christian Life

Christian tithing increases because people now have 22.65% to 34.65% more spending money in their paychecks. Church would then have more resources to spread the Word of God. The beginning of the largest and longest Revival occurs.  

Resurgence in Christians Hospitals occurs, driven by the increase in church revenues, Christian thrift, and Evangelist community outreach both at home and abroad. Americans Christians become known worldwide for Christian Medical missions. 

The study of Latin and Greek reappears in American as a part of a normal private school K-12 education. A restoration of Puritan values sweeps America as communities began devote their lives to promoting Crown Rights of King Jesus. 

The Family meal time is restored because people want to save money, work at home, home school, or sends their children to private neighborhood schools. 

The number abortions drop because women and families get more money in their prebate checks for each child in the family. 

Pro Life supporters’ demand the Fairtax prebate starts at the point of conception and the limit on children in a family be removed. Abortion becomes obsolete and is banned. 

Pastors under the Fairtax can say anything they want from the pulpit without fear of losing a tax exempt status, including endorsing candidates and political parties.

Membership in the Democrat Party or in a union is consider Satanic by most churches, and preached against in the pulpits of Evangelical Churches.

Almost every Bible Believing Church has a K-12 school they support or run.

Government

Americans learn the value of saving money and demand Congress and state legislators cut spending.   

Elected officials now have twice as much time to address the spending side of government because the Fairtax, which has become the Third Rail of politics, can not be touched. The Sixth Amendment becomes obsolete and no longer talked about. 

One half of the lobbyist in Washington and in every state capital lose their jobs and go home and look for real jobs because there is no tax code to play with. 

Local and state property taxes are eliminated from the American society, because the Fairtax is a broader base sales tax then any current state sales tax, and it can replace both property and income tax systems at the same percentage rate of most current state sales tax.  

The United Nations is kicked out of the United States. The League of Fairtax Nations takes over the building.  Nations must have a Fairtax and an American Bill of rights to join the new League of Fairtax Nations.

Home schooling and the number of private schools increase because education is consider an investment and not tax under the Fairtax. 

The money spent on government schools is rolled into the state prebates checks because Americans began to despise socialism. Government schools become obsolete and Teachers Colleges go out of business across America. John Dewy spins faster in Hell.

Economy

Personal debt is no longer the number one marketed product in America. Most people have access to their prebate through a Debt card, and use it only in emergencies, automatically transferring excess money over to a mutual funded each month.

The average person who starts work at 15 years of age can retire by 35 years of age, with or without a college degree. Most college graduates go back to school by age 30 and have two or three different professional careers in their lifetime.

Everyone who wants a job has a job. The economy is booming!

Corporations are moving their headquarters and manufacturing back to the USA!

American products, for the first time in history, are shipped out of the country tax free.

American products, for the first time in nearly 100 years, have equal or better advantage in the American market place. Currently, idiots run the country.

We get to keep 100% of our paycheck! Currently, idiots run the country.

Social Security is on stable footing for the first time in years! It eventually becomes an obsolete government program no longer wanted or needed.

Medicare is paying its own way and is no longer in danger of default! It eventually becomes an obsolete government program no longer wanted or needed.

The Corporate taxes and costs of compliance hidden in both wholesale and retail prices no longer exist! Even with the Fairtax prices are nearly the same as before the Fairtax.

We love our monthly
prebate check! The lower income people pay no taxes because of this and the rest of us get a free ride up to the amount of the poverty level!

This means we can save more, faster and have more money available for education, home ownership and retirement!

We don’t have to fill out those stupid IRS forms anymore! We save a total of $250 billion or more (about 3% of the GDP).

The government wins too! They get the same amount of revenue they are used to getting! Currently, idiots run the country and want to keep the seesaw tax reform debate going and do not support the Fairtax. The Fairtax is not tax reform, it is tax replacement.


And guess who has to start paying taxes for the first time in their lives? Illegals, prostitutes, drug dealers, the porn industry, criminals, plus all of the other under-the-table transactions that take place! Currently, idiots run the country


The IRS and the tax code is eliminated, except as punishment for those who try and cheat on the Fairtax,.  It is later ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court because it is deem cruel and unusually punishment.

Note: Part of the list was stolen off a blog. My apologies to the owner of that blog.

But bold initial claims and planting everyone that has an issue with the FairTax as an SQL or IRS lover is not helping, it reduces credibility.

Its in their script.

To say everyone gets 100% of their paycheck IS misleading because exactly what 100% means is not defined, nor does the bill define how it breaks out. Further, the claim that prices will fall because hidden taxes are removed without defining what those taxes are is also misleading.

Why anyone would play $15K to 18K for a service you can get for $9.5K is beyond me.

I knew some one who bought a house for an absurdly low price because she was the only one to respond to the newspaper ad. Apparently everyone who read the ad assumed it was a mistake - she did too, but decided to check it out anyway.

He (Karl Marx) lived before anyone came up with something as goofy as the prebate.

About your age I'm guessing.

Lewis, some of us save money. You should try to save some out of one of your $200,000 deals.
When someone tells you they have/had a $200,000 deal do you think it nets them $200,000?

Some day your denseness will come back to haunt you in your investment business, the trouble is you'll be too dense to know it when it happens.

All retail establishments are already tax collectors for a sales tax.
Not in Oregon.

So for the same $600, after forwarding on the NRST, you end up with about the same amount of money if not more at the end of the day.
Minus another 23%.

After the Fairtax SBG would collect $780 to net $600 then pay 23% of that when s/he spends it.

The total percentage of his/her gross income to the Fairtax would be about 41%.

If his/her service was worth 30% more, don't you think s/he would be charging that now?

So, Louie, tell us why, in your own words, why you think the income tax status quo is better for America than would be the FairTax. Obviously you feel that way because it is well known that you defend the status quo against the FT with a vehemence that speaks volumes. Let's define dense.
