Keep Your Whole Paycheck
With all due respect to Sherlock Holmes, there are no brilliant deductions on your paycheck. Instead there's just the dreaded withholding trifecta of federal income tax, Medicare and Social Security, which collectively cut your take-home pay into a mere fraction of your gross income. Talk about an unwelcome pay cut. And if that's not bad enough, consider those who are self-employed and pay their own payroll taxes on top of that (ouch) .
But it doesn't need to be this way and with the FairTax it won't be. With the FairTax, federal income tax, Medicare and Social Security withholdings are gone (and fully funded through a better system), and workers and the self-employed keep their whole paycheck for a change. Wow, keeping what you earn. Now that's elementary...
It’s time to change our thinking. It’s time to change our economics. It’s time to change Washington. It’s time for the FairTax.

When they came for the communist I didn't say anything, I wasn't a communist.
When they came for the union members, I didn't say anything, I wasn't a union member.
When they came for the Jews, I didn't say anything, I wasn't a Jew.
When they came for me, there was no one left to say anything.
YES IT CAN HAPPEN HERE AND LOOKS LIKE IT WILL
HOW DO WE STOP THIS?
