The Fair Tax: An Idea Who's Time Has Come

Fair Tax

About the Petition:
It contains more than 55,000 pages … It is so complex that even those who wrote it don’t fully understand it. The “it” is the federal tax code, and more and more Americans are demanding that the time has come to abolish the IRS in favor of a “Fair Tax” system.

The Fair Tax system would eliminate the IRS and replace every current federal tax—personal income tax, business income tax, the death tax, the investment tax and Social Security/FICA taxes included with a simple, Fair Tax. In other words, you would keep 100 percent of your paycheck and then pay ONE tax, the Fair Tax. Your income, savings and investments would never be taxed. And Congress would never again be able to hide tax increases in a convoluted system and manipulate the tax code for political gain.

And the best part? The Fair Tax would completely fund the federal government, Social Security and Medicare!

Grassfire supports the Fair Tax system, and is moving rapidly to mobilize and direct our grassroots base to take strong supportive action over the next 60 days. Our goal is to mobilize at least 100,000 citizen petitions to present to key lawmakers as a show of support for a new tax system and The Fair Tax Act (S. 1025, H.R. 25).

The Petition States:

To: President George W. Bush, Honorable Members of Congress.

As a taxpaying citizen of the United States, I am calling for the elimination of the current federal tax structure (including personal, corporate, death, investment and Social Security/Medicare taxes) in favor of a Fair Tax. The current federal taxation system is impossible in its complexity and oppressive in its enforcement. One tax—the Fair Tax—is fair to all Americans, revenue neutral and would boost our economy while liberating citizens from the burdens of the IRS and the costs of compliance.

I fully support Senate bill S 1025, and House bill HR. 25—The Fair Tax Act of 2007—and call on Congress and the President to pass this measure. I will be watching closely and voting with your actions in mind.
