We are closer than ever imo wrt obtaining critical mass.

It’s totally time to start the nrst threads again :)

I was there too with taxman - who was there in the stead of freeper chief negotiator iirc....

Abolish the 16th Amendment and then go to a”Fair Tax” without the “Prebate”

“The FairTax solves all of the above. It is a universal sales tax levied at the checkout counter on the purchase of new goods and services for personal use. There is no tax on used goods, since nothing should be taxed more than once.

Under the FairTax there is no tax on business activity. There is no tax on personal income, corporate income, dividends or capital gains. No gift tax or estate tax. All are repealed and the IRS is abolished.

The IRS is abolished, how sweet it is...

“The IRS is abolished, how sweet it is... “......

It takes people with the courage to “get ‘er done”. Unfortunately such people are in extremely short supply these days. The rino’s don’t have the backbone and the demodummies wouldn’t know where to begin. No, unfortunately, we are stuck with the IRS for a while longer.

[Principled]

== Why a proponent of the fair tax would include this fact is beyond me. ==

Because it points out the huge amounts of money spent on nonproductive endeavors and gives nrst proponents to point out the far lower costs of the nrst.

The IRS is the CHUPACABRA of Government Agencies, and needs to be brought to an end for the good of all Americans.

There is no tax on personal income, corporate income, dividends or capital gains. No gift tax or estate tax. All are repealed and the IRS is abolished.

The only way this will work is an amendment to the constitution forbidding congress from imposing any other taxes. The amendment must also place a limit as to how high the tax may be.

Passing a law repealing all of these other taxes is pointless unless we forbid congress from imposing these taxes again.

We all know that congress loves to spend money and cannot resist the temptation to impose taxes on those from who they wish to extort campaign contributions or to punish.

The amendment should also limit the congress ability to borrow money. I believe our 130 trillion dollar national debit demonstrates that congress cannot be trusted in the matter of borrowing money to finance government operations.

ABOLISH THE IRS.

REPEAL THE 16th AMENDMENT.

There has never been a better time to take out the IRS.

THE FAIR TAX WOULD BE THE BIGGEST TRANSFER OF POWER FROM DC BACK TO THE PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY’S HISTORY.

These fascist IRS pigs live in your neighborhoods. They are leftists who wear mascara, carry a purse and pee in their pants. Look them up.

[Carry_Okie]

The FairTax solves all of the above.

He bitches about an underground economy and then suggests a massive sales tax? Really? He whines about government involvement in business and expects them not to track every transaction to get their cut? Really?? If you think the IRS is intrusive now, you ain't seen nothin' if we get the FareTax. The problem is spending.

Unless and until we can get the entitlement state down to the point that a sales tax (including state and local) would be 10% or less, expect an underground economy bigger than the legal one with an enforcement police state dwarfing what we have now... OOPS! The State of California charges damned near that already, along with one of the highest income taxes in America, and a property tax, and outrageous fees, and Federal taxes. If these morons get their way, expect combined sales taxes to approach 50% of the sale price, but then the liars pushing this idea will call it 33%.

“The rino’s don’t have the backbone and the demodummies wouldn’t know where to begin”

That is why I'm in favor of Term Limits.

One Term in office, Two Terms in Jail!!!

Something like 80 pct of retail transactions take place in appx 20 pct of sellers.

Also, the universe of retail sellers is something like 90 pct less than the universe of income tax filers.

To me that means enforcement will be less intrusive if individuals are not filing anymore.

[PGalt]

Finally, the IRS will be put down like a rabid dog. No agency of government should have the power to abuse our personal information for political gain, which the IRS has proven its willing to do.

Good closing argument John, but the FR thread is better and funnier BUMP!

[Carry_Okie]

Rush Limbaugh makes the same point about high sales in operation.

Once there is a black market you can reverse those numbers.

[CPT Clay]

you gave them an interest-free loan. Suckers!

LOL

[Principled]

Black market mean gov gets less :)

[Maurice Tift]

  Putting down a rabid dog is a very sad event even when the dog is about to kill you. The IRS is different. No one likes the IRS. Removing the IRS from the lives of every American is something to be celebrated with bonfires on the beach and lots of fireworks. It's one step closer to a free country. The next step is the EPA, then there's the Dept. of Education, the Dept. of Energy, ...

[Carry_Okie]

Black market mean gov gets less :)

Oh how Principled... not.

From the law-abiding they'll take more. A sales tax won't work without a MAJOR reduction in spending at all levels.

[Principled]

No tax will work without a major reduction in spending will it Carrie?

Indeed the black market you fear so deeply already exists, doesn’t it?

So why do you oppose eliminating the income tax? Do you benefit from it Carrie?

FOAD

[Taxman]
