Will The Show Me State Be First to Show The Way on The Fair Tax?



"Show Me: Simplicity, Transparency, and Fairness". This is the Motto of MOFairTax.org This picture of Ed Robb former 24th district Rep. for Boone County Missouri. Ed is one of the original co-sponsors of the Missouri Fair Tax bill.


Unfortunately Mr. Robb was voted out of office and replaced by current 24th District Rep. Chris Kelly in the last election. Kelly , once elected, supported a similar bill, which was passed in the House of the Missouri General Assembly, and was set to come out of committee in the state Senate when the Assembly adjourned earlier this year.


As it stands now the Missouri Fair Tax bill stands an excellent chance of becoming law within the next two years!


Here is the great thing about the Fair Tax. It eliminates Income,Payroll, Corporate taxes, as well as Capital Gains taxes and Death taxes. The Fair Tax replaces them with a National sales tax.


Bottom line Prices go down, every one has more money in their pockets and America becomes the most attractive place in the world to do business. This will result in an economic boom of unprecedented proportions.


This weekend I spent three hours volunteering to work in the Fair Tax booth at the Boone County Fair in Columbia Missouri. I had a great time and met a good group of great Missourians.


While there an activist from the Boone County Republicans booth came down and educated us about the Save Our Secret Ballot initiative. This would guarantee the right of workers voting to unionize, to vote by secret ballot, it also makes sure political elections are protected as well.



The folks shown above are some of the great Americans I had the privilege of working with this weekend . This is what Freedom is all about!
