For too long, we Michiganders have been victims of our state legislators using the income tax code for poltical favor-making - enhancing their own power, but making our families and businesses poorer. Most recently, under the much-touted guise of fixing Michigan's tax system, the legislature enacted the Michigan Business Tax. Trouble is, the MBT still remains a gross receipts tax, levying a tax even if a business isn't profitable - which was the problem with the Single Business Tax it was designed to replace. The MBT continues to penalize entrepreneurship and productivity, and Michigan is rapidly losing businesses, jobs, and families - daily !

When I learned about the Michigan FairTax plan, I decided to quit feeling like a victim, and decided to do something to help change Michigan's economic environment - and I'd like to invite you to join us! Thousands of us are working hard to get the word out about a fairer, progressive consumption tax - the Michigan FairTax. Our goal is to SCRAP the Michigan income tax because the system is broken. In order to give Michigan voters the power to choose, we are laying the groundwork for a ballot drive to get the Michigan FairTax on the 2010 general election ballot.

The Michigan FairTax will both simplify, and stimulate, Michigan's business / jobs climate in a dramatic and ongoing manner. It will replace the income tax and current sales tax, with a consumption tax (sales tax at point of retail sale) while un-taxing all purchases up to poverty level - this means no more withholding of state tax from Michigan wage-earners' paychecks.

What's more, every Michigan resident-family will receive a monthly "prebate" check, in amount based on family size (.0975 x $ [ poverty level per family size] ). This will ensure that NO Michigan family will EVEN BEGIN paying the MI FairTax on goods / services unless, or until, they exceed poverty-level spending. Thus, the MI FairTax rate would effectively be 0% on all monthly family spending up to the monthly poverty level, thereafter it would be 9.75%. A reasonable average effective rate, inferred, would be about 5.5% (that's without putting anything away!) Monies placed into savings are not available to spend, and therefore would result in a further effective tax rate reduction.

Under a FairTax system, points of collection will be dramatically reduced (from millions of individuals to considerably fewer retailers, many of whom are already collecting sales tax). With a Michigan FairTax, income tax-- returns, audits, interest, and penalites vanish.

Today's prices carry hidden income and payroll tax compliance costs, ultimately paid by us. The FairTax will externalize these costs, making them visible. Michigan exporters will then be able to jettison the tax prior to shipment, making Michigan products more globally competitive. The MI FairTax is NOT applied to non-retail, business-to-business purchases, as this inseparably embeds taxation costs in prices of finished goods and services.

This plan is revenue neutral, as it-- ends "first fruit" wage confiscation, stops the practice of hiding consumer taxes in retail prices, makes the true cost of gov't visible, and properly pays for gov't as we meet personal and family needs. Take action! - JOIN OUR TAX REFORM ARMY to bring Michigan back!

Made popular by the federal FairTax bill (H.R. 25, which was either co-sponsored or otherwise endorsed by several 2008 presidential candidates), this approach to taxation reaches across the political spectrum

Why the FairTax idea is right for America's working families.

Dr. Laurence Kotlikoff believes that it will take the FairTax to reverse unfunded U.S. gov't obligations, about ~~$53~~ $88 trillion and counting !!

Thanks for joining We The People USA. This site was created to keep people informed about all the issues stemming from the 2008 election and general issues that affect our every day lives. We're now in the processes of organizing State Action groups to meet with elected officials, agency representatives and other citizens within your state and community. This initiative is new and more information about the activities we are planning will be coming soon. We have been working with several like-minded groups over the last several months who are already organizing on a State and Local level, so thank you for locating your State's Action Group and joining other members in your state as we work towards taking back our Country.

In addition to our own groups, we are working with other patriotic organizations in the freedom movement to build a United Coalition. This would allow all groups/organizations to come together under one umbrella organization. I have created a specific group on this site for this effort called the United Coalition of We The People USA. If you haven't heard about the Coalition, please take the time to read more about it in Welcome/FAQ Letter that I have prepared. And, if you already belong to other social networks or organizations, please help us get the message out about our State initiatives and the United Coalition.

I encourage every member on this site to be active in posting their thoughts and opinions. If you think this site has value, please spread the word by clicking the "Invite" button on the top, just inside the banner, so you can email others on your contact list and ask them to become members.

On this site, you will find is a Member Reference Center under our Forum tab which has a ton of information if you are searching for the best way to contact your elected officials and government agencies.

If you're interested in following the Presidential eligibility lawsuits or the electorate actions that transpired, we have groups following that too. Again, there are plenty groups to join, so please check out the Groups page and do a quick search.

This site also has a live chat feature. To learn how to use the Chat feature, click here. And, if you are active in any outside initiatives, you can post your latest Event on the Events page or if you host any Radio Shows, Conference Calls or Meetings, you can also post them there too, or in the Forum section under the appropriate catagory.

Here, anyone can write a Blog article and all members are allowed to comment on anything that is posted. Please search for the blog article "Members, Please Remember To Mind Your Manners," if you are not sure about blogging etiquette.

If you click the links at the top, just inside the banner, you'll see that some tabs have sub-tabs which link to articles, news and videos. We even have a TV Player under the Videos tab, and while you're clicking around, be sure to check out the WTPUSA Video Playlist and Forum section.

So, please make yourself at home and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Welcome again and thanks for helping "preserve our Republic."
