The Future of the FairTax: It can be done! Help is possible!

Help is possible.
It may sound odd, but only a couple of years ago, people laughed when you suggested replacing income and payroll taxes with a national retail sales tax, or, if you will, the FairTax.

Similar people, in early times, were certain that grassroots movements could not:
• Boot King George III from this continent.
• End slavery as an essential part of our economy.
• Give women the right to vote.
• Ensure the right to buy an alcoholic drink, should you choose to.
• Get unions the right to collective bargaining.
• End communist dominance of Eastern Europe.
• Throw Syria out of Lebanon.
• Return the Ukrainian election to the legitimate winner.

Well, do we have news for these doubters!

Opponents of the FairTax fall into two categories:

(1) Those who don’t understand the FairTax, and haven’t tried to, because they think the income tax cannot be changed, and

(2) Those who understand the FairTax all too well, and simply don’t want to give up the power they wield over people, using an out-of-control, special-interest-driven internal revenue code.

And both have seen the public attitude slowly change from “Are you crazy?” to “Can we really do that?” to “We can really do this!” – especially with the runaway popularity of talk-show host Neal Boortz’s and Congressman John Linder’s The FairTax Book.

Yes we can. We are no longer an English colony. Women vote. You can buy a drink, should you choose to. Slavery is long dead and equality grows. Unions have done a good job of ensuring workplace safety. A true, free-market dominates Eastern Europe. The Lebanese are taking control of their country back. And a freely and legally elected president serves the Ukranian electorate. Of course we can really pass the FairTax.

We went for 137 years without an income tax. Then, we unfortunately created the income tax by passing an amendment and then passing a law, back in 1913. Now we’re terminating the income tax in exactly the same way, by passing a law and passing a (repealing) amendment.

That law is before Congress now. The FairTax (H 25/S 25). And if enough people put enough pressure on the Congress and the administration, the FairTax becomes a law, and there is no more income tax. No more IRS. No more Social Security tax.

When that happens, we reclaim control over our earnings, and enter a new era of growth and prosperity, comparable to what we experienced after World War II.

It can be done. Help is possible.
