The FairTax Bill – HR 25 has been Reintroduced in the 111th Congress.

A message from Representative John Linder:

I am extremely happy to tell you that HR 25, the FairTax, has been reintroduced and is alive and well in the 111th Congress.  Not only that, the FairTax has been dropped with more original co-sponsors than it has ever had.  This is an incredible accomplishment, and it has everything to do with you and the immense passion and work you have put into it.

As a citizen co-sponsor of the FairTax you have played an active role in illustrating to other Members of Congress that the FairTax is important to you and is the right step for America to once again regain her prominence.  Thank you for that.

Our citizen co-sponsor effort has become a powerful tool, as I hoped it would.  This means we need to work together to enhance and strengthen it.  Our goal in Congress is to reach 100 co-sponsors on the bill, and our goal for the citizen co-sponsors is to reach 100,000.  I truly believe that if our citizen co-sponsors can achieve that goal, then that will be the catalyst for HR 25 crossing that 100 co-sponsor threshold.  So now is the time, if you haven’t gotten a friend to join the fight, do it today by sending them to www.johnlinder.com. If you already have, thank you; now go try and find ten more.

The success of the FairTax to date has been tremendous, and it is all a result of your hard work.  It is incumbent upon all of us that we step up our efforts  to ensure that the FairTax has not yet reached its peak, but is still climbing.

Thank you again for all you do,
John

    I am a FAIRTAX supporter but this has come to my attention:
    Here are all the non-default entries that I used with the FairTax Calculator that gave the results that I previously posted.

    self-empolyed: no
    married: no
    members in household: 1
    income: $30,000
    income tax: $2,770
    filing status: single
    receiving social security benefits: no
    mortgage: no
    state and local sales tax rate: 8.5%

    THANK YOU PAT

    I had to run it myself…

    MMMM……

    something to think about.

    I going back to the calculator to “investigate”

    wow

    I hope this is a ERROR in the calculator

    I just got this

    With the Fair Tax, you get:
    -8.48% MORE
    spendable income.
    -$2,033.39 MORE
    purchasing power.
    -$1,835.00 LESS
    federal taxes.

    with this

    self-empolyed: no
    married: yes
    members in household: 1
    income: $30,000
    income tax: $2,770
    filing status: single
    receiving social security benefits: no
    mortgage: no
    state and local sales tax rate: 8.5%

    which maybe an invalid selection but the calculator should have caught it if it was. But I believe it is married but filing a separate return is ok

    if true I can no longer support the fair tax.
    It looks like the FAIRTAX hurts single and married filing separate??
