Thread: Rep. Jeff Duncan, R-S.C., gives thumbs up to Fair Tax legislation (H.R. 25)

I’m still waiting for one Republican House member who supports the FairTax Act to exhibit the courage of their belief and explain why they embrace creating a new Federal entitlement called the Family Consumption Allowance.

Why is it that not one of the twenty-five FairTax Act’s Co-Sponsors willing to publicly explain why they are so eager to create this new federal entitlement, and make approximately 40 million American citizens dependent upon our federal government for a monthly and rationed supply of tax-free necessities of life? Is their silence not suspicious to say the least?

With all the great and informed posters in this forum, I was wondering if one could provide an estimated figure, or a link, showing the total annual dollar amount our federal government would have to dole out to finance the new entitlement that would be created under the FairTax which is called the “Family Consumption Allowance.” I can’t find anything on the Web estimating the cost of this proposed federal entitlement. Not even at the fairtax web site. Kind of suspicious, wouldn't you think?

I just checked to see if there has been any activity in the House on the FairTax Act. It has been sent to the House Committee on Ways and Means and seems that no further action has taken place since January 9th, 2023.

Has anyone noticed that it is next to impossible to find any mainstream media, including Fox News, which evaluates the destructive political effects of the FairTax Act’s proposed Family Consumption Allowance?


While our media is currently full of stories about our “third-rail” entitlement called Social Security, and how Republican Congress critters are looking cut Social Security, while Democrat Congress critters are looking to save Social Security, nothing is said about creating another “third-rail’ entitlement under the notoriously evil and deceptive FairTax Act.


I’m still waiting for at least one of the twenty-five FairTax Act’s Republican Co-Sponsors to explain why they embrace creating this new Federal entitlement . . . the Family Consumption Allowance which, like Social Security, is a very bad and dangerous idea, especially since it would make another huge voting block entirely dependent upon government for a monthly and rationed supply of tax-free necessities of life.


Are they not aware of the maxim stated by Hamilton? “A POWER OVER A MAN’s SUBSISTENCE AMOUNTS TO A POWER OVER HIS WILL” ____ Hamilton, No. 79 Federalist Papers


Why has our mainstream media, including Fox News, not evaluated the predictable and devastating political effects of creating a new and massive, federal entitlement?



And why would any freedom loving Republican in Congress support this patently evil tax reform which would enlarge Congress' taxing capabilities and tighten the iron fist of government around the American people’s necks?

When Federal Reserve Notes were made a legal tender in violation of our Constitution, and a direct un-apportioned tax was imposed upon the people without their consent, America’s free enterprise, free market system was subjugated, and the tools of oppression were made available to some very immoral and nefariously evil people.

Social Security in the past ran annual surpluses and lent that surplus money to the Treasury. In those years, the existence of Social Security reduced the federal budget deficit. Today, it is relying on a cash infusion from the Treasury to pay full benefits.”


Cut off the trillions of dollars of government waste!

And local Lottery dollars should be put in the Social Security and Medicare funds.

Fund that, not "woke" education.

When Social Security was started, it was meant to help and encourage American workers to save for their retirement years so they would not be left totally destitute and without any resources to purchase the bare necessities of life.

In 1945 about ten years after Social Security was started, it was only .29 % of the federal budget. Today, Social Security accounts for more than a quarter of all federal spending!

The most obvious problem with allowing our federal government to create social welfare “entitlements” is, once created, history have proven they are used during federal election time by nefariously evil politicians to buy votes with the promise to increase the entitlement, and so, they grow exponentially like a virus, as Social Security has, and to the point of consuming desperately needed federal revenue to finance those specified functions found beneath Article 1, Section 8, Clause 1, for which Congress was granted the power to lay and collect taxes.

The proposed Family Consumption Allowance entitlement would dwarf the devastating political effects which Social Security has introduced into our federal elections, and it would further divided the American people in a never ending battle between the rich and poor, while immoral and self-righteous politicians instigate such divisions rather than warn the American people to avoid entering upon this suicidal path.

We are here today and gone tomorrow, but what is most important is what we do in-between and is what our children will inherit and remember us by.

Well, this is interesting. As of February 10th, 2023, House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (MO) has not scheduled any movement on the alleged FairTax Act of 2023.

My advice to Chairman Smith is to let it die rather than have its uniformed Co-Sponsors attempt to defend it publically. They made a mistake, but I hope this has been a lesson for the 25 Republican Co-Sponsors . . . always read proposed legislation and do not take the word of slithering snake scoundrels like Neal Boortz and Senator Lindsey Graham, who did everything imaginable to misrepresent what the alleged fair tax would do.


Let us never forget the lesson taught us by Nancy Pelosi

There is no “humanitarian crisis” at our southern border as erroneously reported on Fox News. It is an outright invasion of the United States, intentionally orchestrated and perpetuated by the leadership of our tyrannical federal government which includes traitorous, judges, legislators, and our current president of the United States.
