Welcome, the only requirement is.................
I started this group because of my desire for our tax system to change. I will accept all questions and comments. I will accept good debate, but if you open on personal attacks, your done.
This plan is for true shifting of power back to the citizens and away from the government.
Welcome once again.

- Is it time to resurrect this? The new Congress won't be easy but, 2010 is not that far off. Here's a BHAG--get 100 million copies or so printed and distributed to every person making more than the $42,000 new tax hike level. Maybe we could convince him to do what is now done to the classic, Think and Grow Rich, a free PDF file so we can distribute it free far and wide.

I just wanted to say Hi to a number of people in this group. Isn't it amazing how you can come in contact with people with such opposite ideas on certain topics (as many of you and I have done) and yet come together on such a big topic and think alike?
I'm very interested to continue monitoring this discussion group and keeping up to date on what is going on.
Has anyone promoted any ideas on how we can actually get this through Congress? It won't be easy.
I think it needs to start at the state level (Congress is made up of reps from the states!). So, let's get the local Senators and Congressmen in line on this. If they aren't, let's work to get them out and others in who do want this!
My company is expanding into all 50 states right now, and I plan to push my employees to be active on this topic specifically in their own states.
I look forward to future discussions.
FYI, both books are wonderful reads!!

Comment by Doug Huber on March 26, 2008 at 10:54am - Boortz's new book is great. Having just done my taxes, I am ready for the FairTax!

Comment by Kirk Booher on March 23, 2008 at 11:20pm - It so simple and a beautiful idea. Neil Boortz is right on this one. I bet Mitch Daniels would be in support of this. Does anyone know what his position is?

Comment by Michelle Morris on March 22, 2008 at 12:53pm - Great idea, I have read the Fair Tax book (the original one) and love the idea! I always hear people say that it won't work, but I firmly believe it will.
