Subject: Support for the Fair Tax (HR 25)

Comment: We are middle class on Social Security and we favor the FairTax for the following reasons:

1. We need US Goods to be able to compete with foreign goods; the Fair Tax will remove all hidden, inbedded income taxes from US Goods and Services.
2. We do not buy new cars; we buy used cars; the Fair Tax will not penalize us as an Income Tax; Hidden, Embedded Income Taxes do or as a Flat (income) Tax would.
3. With the removal of hidden, embedded taxes that we have now and as a Flat (income) tax would continue, prices would fall.
4. The "pre-bate" as proposed by HR 25 would help off-set the sales tax on food and medicene.
5. Since we must continue to work to make ends meet, with the Fair Tax we would no longer have to pay an Income Tax or FICA. We could keep all that we make. We would have the choice to decide how much we would pay in taxes.
6. Our children and grandchildren would be free of the Income Tax, its compliance fees, and the tyranny of the IRS and its endless regulations and penalties.
7. US citizens would be eligible for a prebate each month; non-US citizens would not.
8. All, US and Non-US citizens would be taxed equally; now only US citizens who file and pay the income tax are taxed. HR 25 would change that and all would be taxed equally and fairly.
9. Loopholes used by the rich would disappear. All would be taxed on their consumption, not on their savings, income, deaths, etc.
10. Elimination of the Income Tax (to include a proposed Flat Income Tax)would return freedom to our country.


Please free us! Give us freedom from the IRS and an Income Tax. Save our children and grandchildren from the tyranny and the unbridled and uncontrollable IRS.
