First, a Taxman Bravo Zulu! to each person who planned and attended the DARE TO BE FAIR Rally in Myrtle Beach, SC on 1/10/08. Great job!
Now to the point of my post: I’m a retiree, also, Bigun, and FRankly, I don’t give a damn about how the FairTax affects me personally — the FairTax is not about my personal finances.
I’ll do better under the FairTax than under the Marxist inspired progressive income tax, but I have more compelling reasons to support the FairTax:
The FairTax is about FReedom!
The FairTax is about throwing the evil, Marxist inspired, LIEberal/Socialist supported progressive income tax on the asheap of History, where it rightfully belongs!
The FairTax is about abolishing the IRS!
It is about personal economic growth!
It is about a better future for our kids and grandkids!
It is about a stronger, more vibrant American economy!
It is about fairness!
It is about ending class warfare!
It is about ending the stranglehold special interest groups and the Inside the Evil Beltway Bandits have on our Congress and state legislatures!
And, those reasons, alone, ought to get Americans fired up to the point that massive pressure is put on the Congress to enact H.R. 25 ASAP.
I’m sure there are other postitive attributes that the FairTax is about — these are the ones that mean the most to me and come to mind as I write this.
Surely other FairTax supporters can add a few?
Hear here Taxman!
I was about to get to that but YOU have said it so well I'll save it for another thread!
We will never again be a truly FREE for so long as we abide the communist inspired progressive income tax and the IRS!
F R E E D O M ! ! !
You forgot one -
“The FT is about everything - except the truth”
My problem, why not just say, some people using savings to live off of [and pensions with no FICA] may be impacted, but for good of country with “all the benefits seniors receive” [social security, medicare, prescription drugs, etc], so what.
Fine, tell me the truth, don’t insult my intelligence. Common sense says if it’s revenue neutral, it can’t benefit everyone.
