Thank you for your service to the country. One issue that is becoming increasingly important to the people is the growing burden of the federal income tax on taxpayers. An increasing number of people throughout the country are convinced the federal income tax is too complicated to be reformed but instead needs to be replaced with a national sales tax. Currently before Congress is The Fair Tax Act(HR25/S1025) that will replace the income tax with a national sales tax. I would like to know if you will support The Fair Tax Act if elected.
I hope the answer is "no" for three reasons:
a) The system is a ready made Dem talking point beause it will shaft the middle class.
b) Congresscritters will get to have a big say in one's monthly income, leading to even easier mass social experimentation.
c) Any system that requires sending a monthly gubmint check to all or most americans would have the Founders spinning in their graves like Dremel tools.
On second thought, if we arrange magnets, wire and George Washington's corpse in the right fashion and then pass the Fair Tax, it might solve all our electric power needs...
