Good Afternoon, Blog readers,
I have always wanted to start my own blog, maybe just a forum to get things off my chest. The first topic that always irritates me is the tax system. I am afraid we will never get real change in the system. In order to do so, we will need polititians with real courage, as we had during the start of our incredibly fantastic country. There were no income taxes in those days, and we had to pass a constitutional amendment to get one! Heck, we even revolted over a tea tax worth a few cents. I have studied all methods of tax relief and have come to one conclusion and cannot understand why the conservatives do not embrace this. Help me experts!
Why not the fair tax? It will certainly generate every bit as much revenue as we do now with our horribly punishing system and al so give some distinct and wonderful advantages. Here is what I see.
1. Low income families will be able to take care of themselves instead of government social programs.
2. Even though I am not a fan of social security, it would be saved.
3. Citizens will pay a fair share of taxes, but those strapped can choose to spend less and get automatic relief.
4. Illegal aliens....(yes that is exactly what they are, let's stop sugar coating it) will have to pay the tax and not get ANY relief. Only citizens
would be allowed rebates.
5. Foreign visitors would pay the tax as they use our goods and services. Why not? WE pay for theirs!
6. Crinminals cannot hide income anymore. If they buy, they pay, too.
7. Money would only be taxed once and fairly.
I encourage all of you to read about the fair tax. We waste billions of dollars on tax lawyers who do nothing to promote our economuy. We also allow our government to take away our freedoms that our forefathers faought and died for!!! Can you say IRS? Guilty until proven innocent? All to support left wing programs. Let's be the party of real change. Let's start with the tax code, and really push this. Let's get educated.
Have a great day, all, and I hope you will participate in this blog!
