Time for a fair tax

By Beverly Martin

Advocating the FairTax HR25 as an economic issue underestimates the impact of the FairTax HR25 on liberty.. The FairTax HR25 defunds and disbands the IRS. This is why politicians, think tanks and lobbyist oppose FairTaxHR25. The IRS has silenced, threatened and raped the wealth of America for over one-hundred years. The fear of an audit has silenced Americans, organizations and corporations. The wasted money spent on compliance is just that: wasted.

If one wants to argue the benefits of the income tax over the FairTax please get in line with the socialist who want to see capitalism destroyed. Look at what the corporate gains tax is doing to corporate America and American jobs. Our style of government depends upon the availability of free speech. Citizens must be able to challenge authority in a peaceful manner without fear that their wealth and freedom will be taken from them by a tax agency doing the bidding of the highest bidder in Congress.

The FairTax HR25 may have flaws (what tax structure does not?) but it does restore liberty - something a flat tax can never do. www.fairtax.org is a good place to start your own personal quest for information about this proposal.
