"The Moment the idea is admitted into society that property is not as sacred as the laws of God and that there is not a force of law...to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence. Property must be secure or liberty can not exist."
John Adams.
Today, this writer, went to the Midwest Tax Rally in Columbia Missouri. It was a great time. I met people from all over. People from Oklahoma, Arizona, Georgia. There were plenty of Missourians there to. Some highlights from the rally were listening to Joe the Plumber and Neil Boortz. But I have to give a special shout out to Kevin Jackson author of the blog theblacksphere.blogspot.com
This was, as this writer has said, a "Fair Tax Rally." What is the "Fair Tax"? "The Fair tax is a nonpartisan proposal that replaces all federal income taxes with a progressive tax on the consumption of new goods and services." As described in the pamphlet "The Missouri Fair Tax Welcomes You."
There motto being Show Me: Simplicity, Transparency,and Fairness."
I cannot put into words how excited I am at this growing "Revolution." Americans who still believe in freedom, democracy, and the Constitution, must get acquainted with this movement.
Their aims are to stop taxation of saving and investment.
To give every worker a "full paycheck." In other words you would no longer have gross and net pay, but rather, just income. All workers could take home EVERYTHING THEY MAKE, excuse me for shouting ,but this is something, to shout about.
It aims to give retirees, and those with fixed incomes, more disposable income.
It stops the export of American jobs overseas. Because under the Fair Tax corporations won't be taxed into oblivion, and won't need, to go overseas just to make a profit!
Bottom line here is the Fair Tax: eliminates "All Federal Income Taxes, All Payroll Taxes, All Death and Gift Taxes, as well as the I.R.S.!!! It makes our tax system voluntary, and eliminates a score of hidden taxes, and compliance costs, that are currently contained in our tax code.
I urge anyone and everyone who reads this blog to go to mofairtax.org, or, fairtax.org and get informed about the Fair Tax. You'll be glad you did.
