Subject: FairTax

Comment: There are many benefits to the FairTax. Under the FairTax, No American pays any tax up to the poverty level.
The FairTax package has a key component designed to protect the poor, fixed-income, and middle class, where every of resident Americans with legal Social Security numbers qualifies for a rebate. This makes it unique from any other national sales tax and it makes it progressive! This rebate zeros any tax up to the poverty level, as determined by the Department of Health and Human Services. Unlike the flat (income) tax or a French value-added tax (VAT), the FairTax replaces the payroll tax and the income tax with a broader tax base that is revenue neutral for the national budget, Social Security and Medicare and allows working families to take home 100% of their paychecks free of federal income and payroll taxes. Let’s not add anymore hidden and complicated tax systems to the current system. Let’s move to the FairTax! To learn more visit .
