Ron,
I'm really not trying to be antagonistic here. My last reply was simply suggesting Ken Hoagland's response represented an "official" reply from AFFT and should have provided you with that pat answer you're looking for.
Yes Sean, I have read every response from everyone on this post. It would have been a bit irresponsible of me not to since I initiated the post. I understood everything Ken said before I responded in my last post, and you are certainly entitled to h…
Ron,
Did you read the message posted by Ken Hoagland? As you know, Ken is the national spokesperson for AFFT. I would suggest that we have heard from Houston and we have been provided the "pat" answer.
One thing about this post that has impressed me, is all the input I've received. Even if nothing more comes of it, it has encouraged discussion and as far as I am concerned strengthened the FairTax understanding.
David, your point is well taken abo…

I love the idea of calling it a fixed tax. (Flat tax is already taken and no where near as good as Fairtax.) But no matter what it is called it will be demonized by those who don't want to loose control of Favors in Government. Fairtax is one of tho…
Not that it really matters that much, but I felt pretty confident in my background of 37 years in training and instructive writing, but it's today and going forward that really matters. What resonates with me especially during the grass roots "tea p…
I would like to offer this possible clarification from my time as a FairTax regional coordinator and from the perspective of a technical writer and trainer with 20+ years' experience. People who self-identify politically as "progressive" often compl…
All sales taxes are regressive because those with less pay a higher percentage of their total income on taxes than those with more discretionery income-- that is not spent. The FairTax is "progressive" in the sense that the more you spend, the more…

FairTax Nation a site designed and managed by FairTax volunteers to serve the needs of FairTax advocates by providing a place to share ideas, find resources and create new opportunities with the goal of passing the FairTax HR 25.
On Nation we are working on many projects. One is our 50 State Campaign. We want to link at least 1,000 active volunteers in each state to work together in a national effort to pass the FairTax. That would give us at least 50,000 active volunteers able to communicate, plan events, etc. I know some people want a FairTax rally in Washington D.C. This is how we build the organization to make this event and many others possible.
Please feel free to invite your FairTax friends to join us.
