Thread: FairTax and Trade

Aside from that, I see you are still unwilling to discuss the consequences connected to the alleged fairtax entitlement called “the family consumption allowance”.

Tell us, Judy, under the alleged fairtax and its family consumption entitlement, how many more “poor working people” would have a vested interest in voting for progressives, socialists and communists during election time who would promise to work to increase the family consumption entitlement? Is this not how Fifth Column members of Congress stay in power in our nation’s poorest voting districts ____ by offering their constituency free government cheese?


Tell us Judy, why are you so eager to create another entitlement, which would help our Fifth Column members in Congress to remain in power by promising our nation’s poor during each election time to alter the fairtax and enlarge the family consumption entitlement?

If we can make 51 percent of America’s population dependent upon the federal government for its subsistence [the fairtax family consumption allowance check] we can then bribe them for their vote, keep ourselves in power and keep the remaining portion of America’s productive population enslaved to pay the bills ____ Our Fifth Column’s long term strategy ___ a plan to establish a federal plantation that confiscates and then redistributes the bread which labor, business and investors have worked to produce

No, there not countless federal taxes embedded in the price of your products when you pass the FairTax. The FairTax eliminates all the compounded supply chain federal income taxes, all of them. BOOM! Gone with the stroke of a pen.

But hey, this is getting old and boring. I'm happy with where we are right now. Haven't been this happy with what's going on our country in my lifetime, so I'm going to leave you with your Fifth Column (whatever in the hell it is), leave jtdc with his fears of inflation, and MW with his "tax fraud" and watch for news about the Trump Kim Jong Un Summit in Singapore.

In closing, Mr. President, the reason I opened this thread was for you to learn about how the FairTax impacts Trade. Please remember that all this friction, confrontation, bad blood with the Canadians and EU and Mexico, even China, could be much avoided by simply passing the FairTax, which guarantees the American People 23% federal taxation on every single item and service imported into the US and sold in our country to consumers at the final point of retail sale. No feuds, no fuss, no muss ... you just collect the FairTax revenue on all those imports that end up sold in our country, like tariff leaves on our money tree. No trade agreement is necessary, no WTO involved, no military security issue to prove. Just internal domestic taxation 100% under USA control.

I hope someone from the White House still reads our site.

Thank you!!
