On Taxes, Huckabee Leads

I have this to say in defense of the FAIR TAX, HR 25 / S 1025............................Mike Huckabee's Fair Tax that he wants to give to America........................

We here in Texas have a state sales tax and it has resulted in NONE! of the dire predictions some have foreseen. There has been no scandal, corruption, or cheating in relation to it. It has funded our state government SPLENDIDLY! We Texans, tourists, illegal aliens, criminals, etc. are all in INSTANT COMPLIANCE!! every time we go through the "cash-register-check-out-line". Virtually no one escapes paying. If it works for Texas it will work for the nation.

THINK ABOUT IT MORE...................................................

Read and Enjoy..................................................

APRIL 15TH????? Let's make it just another Spring day.

HR 25, the Fair Tax Act, is in the House Ways and Means Committee of congress, waiting to be passed into law. If passed, the Income Tax &
IRS would be abolished and replaced with a national (retail only) sales tax.

Everyone shoud go to: www.congress.org and tell their congressmen that they want HR 25 passed into law ASAP!!!! If we all "push together", we can make it happen. There's nothing to it, BUT TO DO IT!!!!!!

Read and Enjoy.

PLEASE CONSIDER THIS ALSO:

22% of all that you buy currently is tax / tax compliance cost. When that cost goes away (under the Fair Tax) the price of your $1.00 item (purchased at Wal-Mart, for example) drops in price to 78 cents (without damaging the profit margin).

1.23 X 78 cents = 96 cents.

Seeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! Even with the 23% Fair Tax added on, your originally $1.00 item is now 4 cents cheaper.

The "out-of-pocket" cost of living , under the Fair Tax , will be no more than it is now.

Under the Fair Tax there are NO LOSERS, only winners, the difference being that some win BIGGER!!!! than others due th their increased FRUGALITY.

Best Regards,
John Paul McDaniel
