Fair Tax Act of 1999- H.R.2525
 
From Mike Ford 3-24-00
 
The most significant tax proposal in 87 years --- and the most well-researched in history.
 
Fair Tax Act of 1999- H.R.2525 http://www.theorator.com/bills106/hr2525.html
 
Hearings by the U. S. House Ways and Means Committee will begin on April 11 on the FairTax.
 
The FairTax (H.R. 2525, the Linder-Peterson Fair Tax Act of 1999) is a national retail sales tax on new goods and services at the final point of sale for personal consumption above the poverty level. Used goods are not taxed.
 
The FairTax is the best choice for all Americans. It will eliminate the complexity and injustice of our current system entirely --- by repealing the federal income tax and all federal payroll taxes. The FairTax will replace them with a simple 23% federal retail sales tax on new goods and services --- with a universal rebate for all up to the poverty line.
 
The FairTax will: Repeal the federal income tax, including capital gains taxes. Repeal corporate and self-employment taxes. Repeal all payroll taxes including Soc. Sec. and Medicare taxes. Repeal all estate and gift taxes. Repeal the 16th amendment to the Constitution that authorized taxation of income. Provide a universal rebate equal to the sales tax paid on essential goods and services to ensure that no American pays taxes on necessities.****** Impose a 23% tax inclusive rate on the purchase of new goods and services in the U.S.
 
The FairTax won't: Cause prices to rise. Decrease government revenue. Unfairly burden the poor or elderly. Unfairly burden retailers. Be structured as a VAT. Provide tax loopholes of any kind.
 
Actions to be taken: 1. Visit http://www.fairtax.org and get informed. 2. Then do what you can.
