Subject: Fair Tax Act Comment: I would like to see the Fair Tax Act become law. Why? I find it especially disturbing to see the Bush administration's blatant ties to convicted corporate criminals such as Haliburton, which formed 35 offshore tax shelters when Vice President Dick Cheney was CEO. While Haliburton has been avoiding paying untold millions of dollars in federal taxes, it was awarded a closed-door, no-bid contract from the Bush Administration to secure the oil supply of Iraq. Unfortunately, this is just one example of the many instances where a corrupt system allows politically connected mega-corporations to avoid paying taxes while the working class is forced to pay subsidies for big business with their hard-earned tax dollars. |
