FairTaxSOWEGA

Welcome to FairTaxSOWEGA (which stands for SouthWest Georgia for the non-natives). This is the site we will use to communicate and support the FairTax movement in Southwest Georgia. The state of Georgia is the biggest supporter of the FairTax and until now has been virtually nonexistent in our area. We intend to change that! We need the FairTax and the FairTax movement needs us to spread the word! Please feel free to look around and learn about the FairTax and how YOU can make a difference. Thanks for visiting!

"Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have ... The course of history shows that as a government grows, liberty decreases."
Thomas Jefferson

"The largest source of compliance burdens for taxpayers, and the IRS, is the overwhelming complexity of the tax code. The only meaningful way to reduce these burdens is to simplify the tax code enormously.
Nina Olson, National Taxpayer Advocate at the IRS, January 8, 2009

""It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather, a tireless, irate minority keen to set brush-fires of freedom in the minds of men."
Samuel Adams

"We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."
Albert Einstein

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world: indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”
Margaret Mead

“We in America do not have government by the majority. We have government by the majority who participate.”
Thomas Jefferson

"Those who can not remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
American Philosopher, George Santayana

"Please remember that under the sixteenth Amendment, Congress can take 100% of our income anytime it wants to. As a matter of fact, now it imposes a tax as high as 91%. This is downright confiscation and cannot be defended on any grounds."
T. Coleman Andrews, Commissioner of Internal Revenue Service, 1953-1955

I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do.
Helen Keller

Our present tax system...exerts too heavy a drag on growth...It reduces the financial incentives for personal effort, investment, and risk-taking...and the present tax load...distorts economic judgments and channels an undue amount of energy into efforts to avoid tax liabilities.
John F. Kennedy, November 20, 1962

“You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that, my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.”
Dr. Adrian Rogers

"Our Constitution gave us the rights for Under God
The freedom of life, with liberty and justice for all and to the Republic which we stand the right to pursue happiness
For ownership of any individuals to own the rights to their property.
This property includes the ownership of their time as they work for their wages to own as they see fit
for the pursuit of happiness
Personal wages not to be given to OUR government to be taken by taxation against the will of the people
In doing so this is an individual's right and property taken by force from our government in which shall not stand for against it's people
That the Constitution was written for We the People of United States of America"
Charlie Prochaska 4-2009

"Would it not be better to simplify the system of taxation rather than to spread it over such a variety of subjects and pass through so many new hands."
Thomas Jefferson, letter to James Madison, 1784

At the conclusion of the Constitutionl Convention, Benjamin Franklin was asked, "What have you wrought?"
He answered, "...a Republic, if you can keep it."

"Hold on, my friends, to the Constitution and the Republic for which it stands. Miracles do not cluster, and what has happened once in 6,000 years, may not happen again. Hold on to the Constitution, for if the American Constitution should fail, there will be anarchy throughout the world."
Daniel Webster

The few who look forward, while always knocking on new doors, no matter how futile it may seem or how insignificant their progress, will carry the many who just keep waiting for things to get better.
Mike Dooley
