True Talk on Tax

True Talk on Tax will seek common sense and facts about taxes. The focus will be the sales pitch for the Fair Tax. The sales pitch for the Fair Tax is nothing but a marketing effort designed to motivate not inform. In a world where fairness is rare and income certainly not fair, how can taxes be fair? Isn't the meaning of the word 'fair' based a point of view and not based on hard facts? How can it be fair to tax a janitor the same way as a billionaire?

More from the Dark Side

Mike Parker, please tell me you have read "The Fair Tax Book." Your letter doesn't seem to indicate that you have. We spend $87 billion to collect taxes. Crime families, prostitutes, drug dealers, thieves and others do not pay taxes. Is that fair?

It is estimated that $20 billion or more escape income taxes by these people. They are not stealing from the government. They are stealing from honest citizens who pay taxes.

Under the plan, Ms. Weeks will keep her entire paycheck minus state income tax. Mr. Parker, do you realize that under the plan, there will be no embedded taxes, which currently amount to nearly 23 percent. Thus a new car under would cost almost 23 percent less with all embedded taxes deleted. Add 23 percent federal sales tax and the cost will be about $20,000.

A $2 loaf of bread has about 43 cents in hidden taxes. Delete the hidden taxes and the loaf would be $1.57. Add a 23 percent national sales tax and it will be back to around $2.

Citizen George Soros has his great fortune in off shore banks. He pays no federal taxes. Under the plan, every dime he spends in the United States will have the national sales taxes added. There will be no tax loopholes for the wealthy to jump through.

There is more. My email address is suladu@alltel.net. Any one desiring further information, please send me your e-mail address and I will send you a seven-page summary of The Fair Tax Plan at no cost to you.
