TELL IT LIKE IT IS

Hello,have you heard about the fair tax? Do you understand the fair tax? As proposed the government would eliminate federal income tax and initiate a nationwide sales tax of 23%. Well you know the old saying be careful what you wish for. For instance the government would lose money doing this. People who are rich pay 60% and more of their total earnings after adjustments course they would be happy only pay 23% more for the items they purchase. In fact they would get keep 60% more of their income and purchase most of their hard items out of country which you and I cannot afford to do. The federal government therefore would be losing money not actually gaining money. Now you would pay sales tax as proposed on every you purchase, that includes electricity, natural gas, gasoline, diesel, any thing you purchase. How is that going to affect the price of products? Well add 23% to a gallon of milk a loaf of bread, everything. Do you really think rich people care about the price of milk or bread or caviar for that matter? No they don't. Does a husband and wife who are in the low income bracket trying to raise to three children care about the price of loaf of bread or a gallon of milk? Of course they do, if this so-called fair tax passes at 23% everything you purchase. Another thing to think about people on fixed incomes I receive approximately $1000 a month for my Social Security(retirement) at the present time I can make ends meet, however, take away 23% of my check and I am in big trouble now I am trying to make ends meet on $670 per month, can't do it. Because my income is low I only had to pay $44 in income taxes year. And if this bill passes everybody with low to moderate income will be hit the hardest. Read this bill understand this bill be careful of what you wish for.If the government is going to restructure our tax base do so with a flat tax of four or five increments. Anybody making below $30,000 a year would pay no tax. With the amount of tax increasing as income increased in stages. Make absolutely no deductions, no exemptions and no other loopholes to adjust gross income. The gross income would be your income with no exceptions. Possibly Congress might write an exception for catastrophic illness paid out a pocket and not through insurance. No deductions for interest paid on homes cars as etcetra, no deductions for college fees no deductions of any kind period. No exemptions of any kind. This is the only kind of tax that would be fair to the people. Unfortunately we need tax to keep the infrastructure of our country in good working order, with this kind of tax a person would have a chance it will even be encouraged to try to get ahead and make money. You would know that if you make more money your tax increase however you could make a lot more money per level and get ahead.Once again I tell it like it is

tell it like it is

Hello,
Tell it like it is. That can refer to a lot of things, however in this instance I'm talking about April 15 tax day and tea party day. Congress must hear our voice, we must make them hear us, not only through tea parties but by calling and writing them. Sometimes we received canned responses, sometimes receive responses that have nothing to do with what we wrote about. That alone is proof that our congressmen and are congresswomen are paying lip service to the voters.
President Obama is taking us down a road to socialism and one world government there can be no doubt of that now. He appointed a lady who used to work for George Soros and was as far left you can get has been appointed to work in the Pentagon. This lady will have top security clearances and in fact will most likely be a spy for the Obama administration. As mentioned on the O'Reilly show Pentagon officials were shocked. Wake up America Obama intends to bring down the United States and established a one world government probably with him at the head of it. Wake up Democrats Republicans alike band together show Congress how a real bipartisan effort can work, tell it like it is. DO NOT GIVE OUR COUNTRY AWAY watch and be alert we are under attack from within and look for me because I will tell it like it is.
