THE GIFT THAT COULD SAVE OUR ECONOMY

Our congress has the power to adopt a new program that would rejuvenate our economy, improve our standard of living and place our nation in a better position of economic balance and balance of trade.

Such a program will not be adopted because of the selfishness of our congress and other politicians and career supervisors in Washington DC.
Our country is known for its unique innovative ideas and initiative. It was this type of initiative that caused some very successful people to explore some new ideas. They spent huge sums of their own money to have some of our problems examined by experts and then made the results and proposals a gift to the public so we could work for them and adopt them to help ourselves.

I appreciate their great gift. I want their findings acted on so it benefits my grandchildren as well as helping you and your families. We have a problem with very selfish people who are using old systems to negotiate personal benefit as politicians in our federal government. It is time we took an interest and demanded change.

Suppose we were able to say to the automobile makers we will eliminate all the income taxes you pay for your profit as well as all the taxes you pay on behalf of your employees. Suppose we also eliminated all income taxes for the employees of the automobile companies?

Sound strange?
Actually we could eliminate these taxes for all citizens and all companies in the United States. It would help the companies become more profitable, would help them compete better world wide and attract more expansion of industry and investment in the United States. You and I would have a larger income and prices would barely increase with the proper tax reform.

The gift of knowledge given to us by our generous benefactors is compiled in books about a tax reform called the “Fair Tax”. What we need now, more than ever is a complete dialogue and debate about the use of this plan. I can only urge you to read as much as you can about it. Tell your congressional contacts to review it and discuss it. We need it now more than ever. We need you to learn as much as you can about it and help us decide if it will do all that is claimed. So far, those opposed seem to be thinking of only themselves. You need to find out what is best for you and your family and then support your decision by action.
Of course, I should not fail to mention that it is designed to restore the funds for and protect the Social Security program and Medicare program. With some revision it could also cover a national health program.

Additional information is available at www.fairtax.org
There are at least two books on the subject.
Also look at the short articles previously presented. Some of the estimates might change as they are updated and we need to have more discussion to fully understand the benefits.
