Sure is amazing how many problems there are with the current tax system that would be solved by the FairTax.

How will the federal government, already facing a hefty deficit, fund itself and its many obligations in the coming years?

Uh...cut spending?

[Pause for laughter.]

No, I'm serious.

[Pause for laughter.]

I'm really serious.

[Sound of crickets chirping.]

OK, never mind.

U.S. multinational corporations increasingly are shifting more of their global profits to such tax havens as Ireland, Bermuda and Luxembourg.

Yep, so lets reverse that trend and bring them here:

Never thought of Ireland as a tax haven. Now I finally understand this.

Taxes are high because people want the gov't to do and provide more and more. I don't blame politicians anymore, I blame the voters.

Duh! Attention America -- particularly those dumbass politicians and citizens who play the "Punish Success Game:"

Why not make America the world's best tax haven? All you have to do is replace the income tax with a National Retail Sales Tax and abolish the IRS!

“I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.” [Thomas Jefferson, letter to Benjamin Rush, 1800.]

Click here and here to help us scrap the Code, scrap the IRS and abolish the VLWC!

You can also click here to sign a petition in support of Fundamental Tax Replacement.

We will never be a truly FRee people so long as we have the income tax and the IRS.
