12:04 AM? Brother, you're up late!

Hi Mike how are ya? Still trying to survive the winter here. Even more importantly trying to survive the Obamanation. Scary part is we are not even into a month of this regime. Keeping busy? I've been slow at work, the economy keeps hitting the skids. So much of our busines is tied to construction and manufacturing that it kills us. At least my faith in Christ is still here.

Dear Member -- I have volunteered to be the State Coordinator for Georgia. I am organizing meetings with US Attorneys, elected officials and other citizens in my home State. We need other citizens to step up to help coordinate the same kinds of activities in their home state. If you want to take action, please read this post
http://wethepeopleusa.ning.com/profiles/blogs/please-read-state-action and sign up to be a State Coordinator or Assistant Coordinator for your home State. All activities will be Coordinated on www.wethepeopleusa.ning.com.

Thank you in advance for your consideration and support.
Your Fellow Patriot

Hello back.

Mike are you receiving our emails from mifairtax.org? What email are you receiving them at? You can post here, or email me at daar.fisher@mifairtax.org Thanks!

Hi Mike, I’m the Internal Communication Director for the Michigan FairTax Assn. As you’re aware, our state legislature has recently enacted the Michigan Business Tax [MBT] as a response to ending the Single Business Tax [SBT] (a gross receipts tax). Our goal is to inform Michiganders about a proposed Michigan FairTax alternative that would both simplify, and stimulate, Michigan's business / jobs climate in order to stem the mass-emigration of businesses and families currently taking place.

The proposed Michigan FairTax would REPLACE the income tax and current sales tax, with a consumption tax (sales tax at point of retail sale). Under this plan, no more state tax will be withheld from Michigan wage-earners' paychecks. What's more, every Michigan resident-family will receive a monthly "prebate" check, in amount based on 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.

Under the MI FairTax plan, points of collection are substantially reduced to just retailers, many of whom are already collecting sales tax. Because service providers must account for income tax withholding and compliance costs, their prices carry a hidden tax which a FairTax will make visible. (Business-to-business purchases would not carry the tax, as this would, again, hide the cost of taxation in prices.)

Because of the "prebate" (advance rebate calculated as .0975 x $ [poverty level spending per family size]) to ALL Michigan-resident households, the MI FairTax rate would effectively be 0% on all monthly family spending to the poverty level; thereafter it's 9.75%. A reasonably inferred average effective rate would be ~5.5% (see p.2 of pdf brochure, also review an economic analysis [pdf] on MI FairTax effects prepared by the Hillsdale Policy Group).
