FAIR TAX = MORE ROUNDS & MORE SALES!
Farmers do not
spend all their time harvesting. Healthy soil must be
maintained. Businesses must also spend some time and effort
to maintain a healthy political and economic environment
that will permit success.
What does
The Fair Tax have to do with golf? Everything.
It would have an immediate and permanent impact on number of
rounds played and shop sales. The Fair Tax Act is before
the US Congress and gaining momentum! The future of
your business and job, even the very future of our nation,
may depend on the passage of this tax. It is
time for all Americans to understand the basics and unite in
our demands that congress pass this act!
Read the whole
book (link below) to get the logic and research.
The following is a summary:
FAIR TAX DEFINITION:
The Fair tax is a one time sales tax included in the final
price of all new goods and services. (It is not a VAT or
Value Added Tax which re-taxes the added value at every
stage of manufacture).
FAIR TAX PROVISIONS:
The Fair tax would replace and repeal:
The income tax, both personal and corporate.
The alternative minimum tax (AMT)
Capital Gains Tax
Social Security Taxes
Medicare Taxes
Self-employment tax
Estate Taxes (the death tax)
Gift taxes
“Prebate” Checks FROM the government TO every household
every month!! Every head of household will receive a
“prebate” check every month to cover the cost of the taxes
on necessities. These checks could range from $183 per month
for single people to over $700 for large families – so
nobody is paying tax on essentials.
There will be no more withholding.
All of us would have 100% of our checks to spend, plus the
“Prebate” above.
Businesses collecting the tax would
be paid ˝ of 1% as fair compensation.
FAIR TAX PROSPECTIVE RESULTS:
The federal government would have the same level of tax
income they now have. If reform is required, that would be a
separate and different issue.
Social Security and Medicare benefits would not be changed
by the Fair Tax. If reform is required, that would be a
separate and different issue.
Prices of good and services will remain approximately the
same because, the income tax presently embedded in the price
of goods would disappear, so prices would go down by
approximately (22%). The Fair tax is 23%, so resulting
prices should be roughly unchanged.
The rich would pay the most because they buy the most.
Criminals who are not paying any tax at all now would be
taxed on everything they buy.
The underground economy of untaxed cash business would be
taxed when they spend.
Foreigners who purchase American goods here or abroad
would be paying the Fair tax.
The IRS would no longer exist.
The IRS Code with all it’s political favoritism would no
longer exist.
Politicians would have no tax loopholes with which to
reward large campaign contributors.
Lobbyists in Washington would have nothing to lobby for.
Wasting valuable time preparing and filing a tax return
would no longer be required.
Forfeiting private information to a government agency
would cease.
Not Spending valuable resources to comply with impossible
laws would save billions.
Accountants could use their skills for business reasons
instead of tax reasons.
Savings and investments could be made for economic
reasons, not tax reasons.
Offshore Capital would return and be invested in the
economy.
Charitable institutions would gain because those who
support them would gain.
The American economy would experience a boom and be far
more competitive than any other country, which would result
in more jobs and profits. Our trade balance with other
nations would reverse itself in our favor as they brought
their manufacturing plants to our country and hired our
workers in order to compete in world markets. Their present
tax burdens (like our present system) are inefficient and
wasteful. Those foreign systems would not be able to compete
with the Fair Tax system in America.
Is anyone opposed to the Fair Tax? Yes – in a nutshell –
anyone who has a vested interest in the corruption, waste
and coercion of the present system(s).
Politicians whose votes are for sale to large contributors
Corporate lobbyists (corporations would benefit)
Union lobbyists (union members would benefit)
Criminals who pay no tax now.
The untaxed underground economy.
Illegal immigrants and foreign visitors who would not
receive prebate checks but would pay the tax with every
purchase.
Foreign governments who will not be able to compete with
us.
These are the basic facts. Anyone who opposes the Fair Tax
is either deliberately misrepresenting it or willfully
ignorant of the facts. Political elements which have made it
their strategy to promote class envy would be rendered
irrelevant if everyone were treated equally.
What about the poor? Without withholding, workers would have
100% of their checks to spend, plus they would get a prebate
check every month from the government! This is a two fold
increase in purchasing power! Prices would be the same and
new jobs would be created. What is not to like? Anyone
claiming to represent the poor should be ecstatic about the
Fair Tax.
Is the Fair Tax a liberal or conservative concept? It is
good for everybody in any party except the extreme fringe
element who overtly, covertly or unconsciously want
totalitarian government and destruction of personal rights
and private property. Opponents include all those who
subscribe to any of the “isms” such as communism, socialism,
fascism, etc. A graduated income tax is the Second Plank in
the Communist Manifesto. Any American who values our
Constitution and liberties should favor the Fair Tax.
