That's just unbearable and wrong. http://quote.bloomberg.com/apps/newspid=10000103&sid=aPrYNKUvyyG8&refer=news_index   "The 'X tax' proposal would end taxation of investment income and interest deductions for businesses and individuals. It would also set a single rate for all businesses and allow unlimited write-offs for equipment purchases. Individuals would be taxed only on their wages. In his proposal, Bradford set graduated tax rates on wages with a top rate of less than 30 percent" Call!

from www.boortz.com October 13, 2005 THE MAN WHO STARTED IT ALL SPEAKS OUT I've told you about Leo Linbeck. Leo is the Houston businessman who finally got fed up with spending so much time worrying about the tax consequences of every business decision he made. Linbeck formed the group that would become Americans for Fair Taxation and collected the $22 million that ended up being spent to develop the FairTax Plan (H.R. 25). Linbeck, needless to say, is not exactly thrilled with the actions of the president's tax reform panel. Here is a press release issued by Linbeck yesterday. Tax Reform Group Blasts Presidential Tax Panel To: National and Assignment desks, Political Reporter Contact: Tom Wright or Genie Hayes, 1-800-FAIRTAX, both of FairTax.org HOUSTON, Oct. 12 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Americans For Fair Taxation today blasted the reform panel tasked with suggesting fundamental changes to the tax system as, "Fraudulent political theater designed to protect the corrupt tax code and those who profit from its manipulation," said Leo Linbeck, chairman of the national grassroots organization. "When a Presidential panel engages in such activities it does a disservice to the American people." Linbeck was reacting to early reports of the findings of the President's Advisory Panel on Federal Tax Reform. "They are moving around the deck chairs on a sinking ship but are trying to convince the American public that they are moving mountains," said Linbeck. The panel's report is due out on Nov. 1. "The fact that the main proposals to emerge are limits on health insurance and mortgage interest deductions reveal the usual Washington mindset of how to more efficiently shear the taxpaying sheep," said Linbeck. "We must have hit a nerve with our growing grassroots demand for a national retail sales tax because the panel ignored our multimillion dollar, decade-long research effort defining the proposed plan and instead invented their own phony and flawed national sales tax program and then found it wanting. The panel went to great lengths to conceal the substance of the FairTax proposal," said Linbeck. "The FairTax deserves a fair hearing. Instead, the panel was driven by the very Washington insiders and tax lobbyists who now profit so handsomely through manipulation of the code." "While every American knows perfectly well that well-heeled lobbyists are manipulating the federal tax code for profit, this panel somehow ignored that reality and substituted cowardly politics for strong action. In the process they employed limited findings and let the American people, as well as President Bush, down," said Linbeck. "Although the commission was charged with recommending fundamental change to an admittedly dysfunctional federal tax system, they have made it clear they will only propose tinkering around the edges of the current system to eliminate past Washington-driven "reforms" like the Alternative Minimum Tax. It is painfully obvious that Washington, D.C. insiders so closely linked with the status quo cannot be trusted to overturn the corrupt system of federal taxation. This effort will have to be driven by the American people," said Linbeck.

Keep The FairTax Momentum Going
Greater Gwinnett Republican Women and many others support Congressman John Linder and the Fair Tax. . . View photos of Town Hall meeting in Suwanee, GA.   April 15 --     Crying Time Abolish the IRS!!     Webmaster's comments:  It is very disappointing that more of our Republican Party groups have not seen fit to openly back this HR Bill 25, The Fair Tax. It is the best piece of legislation to come out of  D.C. in years.  It is so different from the excessive spending bills that so many of our members of Congress have spent their time and energy promoting. This bill actually makes sense and would help our economy as well as our decaying Social Security program. The only draw back is that people do have to read -- which is always a problem. Recently I have inquired at the RNC and also at the state level if these Republican organizations are going to support the Fair Tax Bill. The vague answer is NOT YET or the subject is changed quickly. The next time that I receive a request for donations from  these organization, I may send it back with the notation, "When you sign on to the Fair Tax, I shall send my donation."  The window of opportunity is the next year for the passage of this bill. It may never pass this way again after President Bush is out of office or if we lose our majority in Congress.  Think about it, please!     Right Webs2Go Bettye Chambers
