A Fair Tax would be in the best interest of all the people. But first, regaining our rights, liberties and right to property must come before that. A restoration within this country of natural rights and not gifts from our legislators must come first. Re-education of the people, our relatives, friends, co-workers, even our children must be foremost in our minds. Until that is accomplished, we will not succeed. We must stop trying to regulate everyone else based on our own faith and opinions. Yes, we are entitled to beieve a certain way. But what happens when we push our own agenda on others, we revert to the same tyranny that we are trying to overcome. I would help with your progam for a fair tax. But it is not the highest priority for the benefit of all.

Billie,

I still spend a couple of hours blogging after work. You'll hear a lot from me. Check out my blog. I had an article written up negatively about the "Tea Party" I organized in Fort Worth. I let him have it with both barrels. http://wethepeopleusa.ning.com/profile/MarkChristopherFrimmel

Billie,

I saw your post on the Plan to Take Back the Country.

The 16th amendment should be repealed, with no provision for income tax on the people. Additionally, all confiscation of money from the people and payments to other people are not powers granted to the Federal Government in the original Constitution.

On the face of it, the Fair Tax seems better, we decide what we pay by the purchases we make. Current thinking is that the tax would be about 25 to 27 percent. Add that to state and local sales taxes, 9 percent where I live, an it is still 34 to 36 percent of income, less the cost of living credit. This is a savings, IF the FICA and Medicare deductions are removed along with the federal withholding/payroll tax.

Since there is no guaranty that the Fed sales tax rate will not increase. If this type tax does pass, what would prevent Congress from increasing the rate? I get the point of this type of tax: everyone pays, even illegals, criminals, wealthy with no net annual gains, etc.

Without reform of the multitude of Federal entitlement programs, ANY federal tax plan is just a different way for the giant federal financial vacuum to suck personal wealth from those who have money to re-distribute to those who do not.

Before this type of tax reform takes place, entitlement reform MUST take place and the Federal Government powers be restored to those enumerated in the original Constitution. Why should the people back this or any plan that continues to take from the "rich" (read - middle class) and give to those who will not work? What is the calculated needed Federal sales tax if Federal money giveaways, Foreign and Domestic are eliminated??

27 percent seems like an awful lot on annual Gross Domestic Purchases of nearly 15 TRILLION dollars in 2008.

Think about it..

You are very diversified in activity to preserve our nation, and I commend this organization for the insight that we must stop the threat of losing our sovereignty. It is my major concern.
However, as I clicked onto "groups", the explanation of each of several 'groups', I could not find where I can show my interest (signing-up) in 3 groups. I am not knowledgeable in computers, so I would appreciate your help.

Hi Billie,
Our group is soooo deluged with our efforts against illegal immigration here in NE Ohio. . . we neeed to concentrate on that mostly although I am all for the Fair Tax as well. We signed up at WTP to increase our numbers and be in touch about any potential mass rallies in our state!

Well the Democrats have always been TAX & SPEND that is their platform and way of life. They don't care what you have or don't have they will make you & me pay more taxes and we don't have a job or any income so what do you think will happen? Look back at 1930 and see what the people did, live in tents and starve while the commie democrats lived high on the hog.. Gp
