LOL! This reminds me of Isreal’s “investigation” of its own war crimes in Gaza. After much a do about nothing, they found themselves to have acted properly and further added that they had “the most moral army in the world(tm)” – I rather fancy that the banksters’ report will be eerily similar to that of the IDF.

Surprise surprise, we need another financial system.

It baffles me how, as Americans, we can allow this to go on right under our noses. Why is nobody looking at the larger picture here? Get rid of the need to lobby for income tax breaks and you will resolve the problems that arise as a result of those lobbying efforts. It’s that simple. But because we view one plan as being “left-wing” or “right-wing”, we fail to open our minds to the bigger picture.

Look, as long as lobbyists have something to fight for, they will continue to fight, and they will do whatever is necessary to get the tax breaks for their clients (Big Corp). But if we take away their incentive to lobby, they will eventually “scatter when the lights come on” (as someone else here wrote).

We all know that Corporations pass their tax burden on to the consumers of their goods/services. Don’t we? Increased taxes = increased prices; decreased taxes = decreased prices. Right? So why are we even providing Corporations with the ability to lobby for tax breaks that we never get to see? That is because even though corporations like GE and Bank of America rarely pay taxes, they still have to pay their lobbyists millions of dollars to get those tax breaks, and they have to pay their tax attorneys Billions of dollars to rifle through 70,000+ pages of code.

Would it not make more sense to eliminate the need for lobbyists and tax lawyers altogether? By eliminating the federal income tax that is exactly what would happen. Take away their incentive by leveling the playing field for ALL U.S. corporations and all American citizens. Would that not be fair to each of us?

I’m NOT advocating not paying taxes. Quite the opposite really. I’m a Veteran of the US Military and a firm believer that we should all “pay our fair share” (in more ways than just paying taxes). The problem I continually see is that the definition of fair is constantly being pushed to the left and to the right. Shouldn’t fair simply mean “equal to all” or “unbiased”? If we are all treated equally, then there should be no room to push that definition. Right?

So here it is, the reason you will probably start to call me names like “Republican”, “right-winger”, or “tea-partier”, but please refrain from labeling me, as I have refrained from labeling you. You have no idea which party I vote for, and quite frankly, it doesn’t matter which party I vote for. The Fair Tax Act (HR-25) is a non-partisan bill that treats all Americans equally and without bias. It is an American Bill; not a Republican, or right-wing bill. The FairTax will treat Republicans, Democrats, and Independents equally because we are all here to help America grow and prosper. The Fair Tax will only hurt those who currently evade or otherwise pay no federal income taxes; those who do not “pay their fair share” now.

I’m being cut short on time, so I have to end it here, but I would like to encourage everyone to look into the Fair Tax. Start at the source, http://FairTax.org and read the research papers, understand how it works, and ask questions. If you leave comments, I will be back to address them.
