Subject: Fair Tax Supporter Comment: I would like to be considered one of the many FairTax H.R 25, S25 supporters. Everyone agrees that our country’s current taxation system is ridiculously complicated, and unfair to all. I have studied all of the tax reform ideas on the table, and have decided to encourage all my colleagues, friends, and family to support the “Fair Tax” legislation. This country was founded under certain principles, some of which, unfortunately, have been lost in the shuffle. Need I remind you, that unjust taxation was one of the key reasons we sought independence, in the first place. I am certain that our Founding Fathers did not intend for the IRS or Payroll Taxes to ever exist. As a hard working, middle class, American, I for one would like to see a day when those who choose to work in less than honest professions, or evade taxation are forced to pay their share to fund our government. Under the Fair Tax, all those who currently evade taxation by any means, would be unable to do so. Regardless of income level or political party, I have never spoken with anyone who understood the Fair Tax and didn’t support it. Those who hadn’t heard of it, without fail, supported the Fair Tax as soon as they understood what it meant. Some of the Benefits I see if the Fair Tax legislation were implemented include but are not limited to. 1. Financial Growth for all working individuals 2. Economic Growth for our Nation 3. Freedom from unfair practices of the IRS 4. Elimination of Tax Evasion 5. Taxation of Illegal, and Foreign Incomes 6. Providing real Security for Social Security and Medicare 7. Removing taxes on business purchases which will Encourage corporations to move into our Nation instead of out 8. Enable American companies to be more competitive with imported goods and services. 9. Creation of Jobs 10. Provide a monthly pre-rebate to eliminate taxing the poor 11. Removing the hidden taxes in goods and services 12. Distributing the Tax burden more broadly 13. Returning some of the freedoms, granted to all American’s, In the Declaration of Independence, and The U.S. Constitution 14. No more would the government be allowed to withhold our money, without paying interest In closing, I'll add, that judging by the responses I’ve read and heard, the FAIRTAX is the clear choice of the American people. I urge you to consider carefully, the consequences of your actions, as our governmental officials. Sincerely Concerned for our children’s future Wanda E. Bourgeois |
