The FairTax Book: Saying Goodbye to the Income Tax and the IRS

Authors, Neal Boortz & Congressman John Linder
196 pages. ISBN 978-0-06-087549-7

This short book detailing the FairTax was a #1 New York Times Bestseller.

I looked through my library in search of and intending to write a review of a book that offered some solutions to our present problems. I believe this book fits the bill. If we wish to reform our government and reclaim our liberty there can be no more effective way than to remove the easily abused funding method. I have heard many suggestions and objections regarding this option. This book explores and answers them all.

The many seemingly insurmountable financial problems facing us make this option very attractive. From addressing the “Social Security tax, the Medicare tax, corporate income taxes, the death tax, the self-employment tax, the alternative minimum tax, the gift tax, capital gains taxes, tax audits, and some major headaches every April 15” this is the most fair, possible and workable solution. It is not the be all, end all, to all of our problems but it is likely the most effective first step we could take.

What would be the best way to fund our federal government? My preference has little probability of occurring, but this option has some chance of passing and is thus, I believe, the best option considering our present political climate. The proposal is fair; it treats all taxpayers equally and the benefits are manifold. The poor would not pay any more than they do now. The middle class and even the rich would benefit. The only losers are the grafters, special interests and lobbyists who care not that their efforts push the burdens of their successes on the backs of others.

Mr. Boortz and Congressman Linder have written a very important short read for anyone interested in learning about and promoting something that could really help. Mr. Boortz has retired from the radio and Congressman Linder retired from congress in 2011, but their book continues in the effort to promote the proposal.

Do you want to turbo charge our economy? Take back your liberty? Constrain the tyrants? Please read this book and investigate www.FairTax.org for detailed information about the proposal and how you can help. If you find it acceptable, then please urge your representatives in government to support the effort.

Respectfully,
O.A.

    wowee. So you don't care about the facts that bambib puts up. You just have an emotional reaction? That makes bambib look even smarter and you just out of control, irrational and emotional.

    Isn't "loathing" a little strong? I read bamibis comments and most of them seem right to me. Okay, they aren't flowery and full of hearts and unicorns. But are they factually correct or not? If someone has facts to present, then just present them and bambib will have to shut up. But if you don't have any facts, then maybe bambib is 100% right?

    I just looked up Wikard v. Filburn and read it. All I can say is, "wow". Is that really how American government justifies itself? That's crazy!

    I think you're wrong about this. The Fair Tax shows up on the receipt.

    I don't understand. You say it's the altruism… etc, that's the problem and that women do it more than men, but the problem is philosophy, not women?

    If women do it a lot more than men, isn't that the problem? Or are you saying the difference is too little make a difference?

    But what if women really ARE the problem? Is bambib supposed to just ignore that?

    Is there any evidence that bambib is wrong?

    Why do you say that? I found the Lott paper and read it and it looks to me like babmib is on to something. I haven't processed it all yet, but it sure looks like as soon as women started voting, they voted for debt.

    You know, bambib has a point. She presents factual information and all she gets is an emotional response.

    Is she right? Is everyone afraid just talk facts with her because none of the facts are on your side?

    I've not hijacked the thread. It began as Fair Tax/Current Tax. I point out that NO TAX is the preferred option and that the only obstacle between us and NO TAX is the female voting pattern.

    Name calling? I let people define themselves. I think I've given the reasons for any "name-calling" I've done. If the labels don't fit, feel free to refute them.

    Intimidation? Really? Are you that much of a coward that you feel INTIMIDATED reading characters on a computer screen? Note, I ask. ARE you that much of a coward? It is for you to answer. Or not.

    Making allowance for the individual? WTF does that mean? Do you expect me fudge the facts to suit some moron's whimsey?

    Others will most likely judge on the basis of whether they "like" a given post. That's the female way. If they "like" it, it must be right. If they DON'T "like" it, it must be wrong.

    Women, in general, LIKE welfare. Women LIKE the policies that are destroying America. Hell, women LIKE the fact that hundreds of thousands of criminal aliens flood our southern border.

    I live in a different world - where whether I LIKE a fact or not has no value in determining the validity of the fact. Women may not LIKE the fact that 1+1=2, but that doesn't alter the fact. Women may not LIKE the fact that their voting patterns have doomed America - but it's no less a fact for their disapproval.

    Frankly, I have more respect for a single person who engages on a FACTUAL level (even if they disagree with me) than I do for the entire universe of people whose version of reason is "what they feel" even if they DO agree with me.

    Wrap your brain around that… and try again.

    HAHAHA! I KNEW you would be too lazy, too dishonest, too lacking in integrity to engage on a factual basis!

    (Well, no, actually, I didn't KNOW it until you posted more rhetoric and refused to engage on a factual level… but I strongly suspected it. Thanks for making my case - but I really wish you hadn't been so lazy, dishonest and lacking in integrity. Sort of disappointing, really.)

    You have this all wrong. You are going about this wrong. I have objected to your hijacking my thread, name calling, argument by intimidation and not making allowance for the individual... the women that don't fit your mold. But, you can't seem to stop... I will leave your comments for others to judge for now. Censoring is not my way and I do not fear facts, but I assure you if you persist in calling people cowards, hypocrites and liars, etc., because they do not agree 100% with your every conclusion, I will clean up my thread. If you go too far the administrators may intervene before I do.
    I'm done.
    Have a good night.
    O.A.
