Linder Announces Retirement: We Lose A FairTax Crusader

John Linder with Pres. Bush

U.S. Rep. John Linder is  the man behind the House version of the FairTax Act (HR 25), and the co-author, along with Neal Boortz, of two best selling FairTax books.  Let’s hope the folks in Gwinnett County can fill this seat with someone that can continue the crusade.

Asheville’s Own FairTax Loving Food Joint

Although owner Mike McLean admits that most political coffeehouses lean left, he felt the salon model would work just as well for right-of-center sentiments, as his newly opened Horse Shoe restaurant proves.
In addition to having a lengthy menu, the Grass Roots Café has an agenda: “We’re actively involved in the FairTax Movement,” explains McLean, who opened the eatery with his wife Carol and son Matt. “We have plenty of information here if someone’s interested in tax reform.”
While the McLeans are legally bound to collect and pay taxes at their restaurant, their aggravation with the system surfaces on the menu, on which every item’s price is listed with and without tax.
“We believe very much in the visibility of tax,” says McLean, who has long organized motorcycle rides to publicize the FairTax, an initiative that would replace all federal income taxes with a national retail-sales tax.

A Fairtax Story

This is a very powerful testimonial to the FairTax by Paul Wizikowski. He makes his case for the FairTax in simple, but moving terms. Check this out and see if you can’t agree with his sentiments.

We all saw the rally on Sept. 12th, now let’s get moving on educating all those folks that are now ready for a real change. A change back to personal responsibility, coupled with personal compassion. Let’s let all these people know that there is a way to reign in Washington, to curtail the power grab going on.

Let’s let them know about the FairTax!

Speech from Jessica Wexler

Hello, I am Jessica Wexler. I am a strong supporter of the FairTax. I have volunteered with FairTax KC for the past year and written an organizing manual to be used by Fair tax supporters across the country. So there is no confusion, I am a Democrat. I have worked 20 hour days, 7 days a week, for months at a time. I have slept on office floors with blankets pulled from the trunk of volunteers’ cars. During Senator McCaskill’s campaign, I learned the benefit of a union hall with showers, even if they were behind a door marked Men’s. On Novemeber 4th while polls were closing and parties were starting. I was still at President Obama’s Raytown office, working to insure every vote was counted. I have organized teachers in New Orleans and registered voters through Rock the Vote. I have been in favor of the FairTax for several years. Ever since my uncle, for those of you who don’t know him, he is the FairTax KC Geezer, gave me a small paperback book to read. My uncle and I disagree on all the major hot button issues from abortion to gun rights, social security to the death penalty. To sum it up we disagree on how the government should spend our tax dollars. We are in complete agreement on how the government should collect those tax dollars. The FairTax!
I am here to speak about why I, a democrat, support the FairTax. Why other Democrats must support the FairTax. And why it is crucial that the FairTax is a nonpartisan issue both on a local and national scale.
My top 3 reasons for supporting the FairTax are it will increase jobs, widen our tax base, and gives me control over the money I earn.
