Republicans offer fraudulent tax reform, the alleged FairTax

[Cellblock2429]

And what, specifically is not true. The irrefutable fact is, the FairTax Act would create a new and massive federal entitlement called the "FAMILY CONSUMPTION ALLOWANCE"

Here is the link:


“CHAPTER 3. FAMILY CONSUMPTION ALLOWANCE

The authors and the twenty-five FairTax Act’s Co-Sponsors in the House are suspiciously silent with regard to creating this new and massive federal entitlement and the devastating effects it would generate.

/——/ Which massive federal entitlement have democRATs ever shut down?

What does that have to do with the twenty-five FairTax Act’s Co-Sponsors in the House who want to create a new and massive federal entitlement . . . FAMILY CONSUMPTION ALLOWANCE . . . ?

“CHAPTER 3—FAMILY CONSUMPTION ALLOWANCE . . . “SEC. 302. QUALIFIED FAMILY


.
Why are the 25 twenty-five Republican FairTax Act’s Co-Sponsors in the House so eager to create this new federal entitlement, and make approximately 40 million American citizens [the estimated number of American citizens living at, or below the poverty level] dependent upon our federal government for a monthly and rationed supply of tax-free necessities of life? Have we not learned how existing federal entitlements are bankrupting our country and preventing Congress from financing its constitutionally authorized objectives meant to promote the general welfare of the United States?

The only "beauty" behind the alleged FairTax is, it enlarges and strengthens the federal government’s iron grip around the American people’s necks. And that is not the kind of "beauty" the American people need.

It's a glorified sales tax, dimwit. And it would eliminate the income tax.

Get a grip.

As long as there are cuts-outs (for anyone) nothing will change.

Bingo.

Get a grip.

If the FairTax Act were adopted by Congress, it does not eliminate taxes calculated from incomes. Congress' power to lay and collect taxes calculated from incomes remains fully intact. You apparently have not studied the proposed legislation.


The fact is, the FairTax Act does not withdraw Congress’ power to lay and collect taxes calculated from profits, gains, wages, tips and other lawfully realized incomes. It merely promises a repeal of the 16th Amendment within seven years and after the new 23% tax has been put into operation.

See SEC. 401. ELIMINATION OF SALES TAX IF SIXTEENTH AMENDMENT NOT REPEALED.

“If the Sixteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States is not repealed before the end of the 7-year period beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act, then all provisions of, and amendments made by, this Act shall not apply to any use or consumption in any year beginning after December 31 of the calendar year in which or with which such period ends, except that the Sales Tax Bureau of the Department of the Treasury shall not be terminated until 6 months after such December 31.”

I've read every Fair Tax legislation for the past several years, including this one. You are the one who needs to read it.

The Fair Tax law REPEALS the 16th Amendment. In other words, it repeals the federal income tax.

The federal income tax would be replaced by a federal sales tax.

All caught up now?

Congress cannot repeal the 16th Amendment.

 

[g5000]

Congress cannot repeal the 16th Amendment.

And YOU told ME to read the Fair Tax bill! You clearly didn't.

The Fair Tax bill provides for a 7 year period for the states to repeal the 16th Amendment.

If the states fail to repeal the 16th, then the Fair Tax law becomes null and void.

Well, I am happy to see you finally realize the FairTax Act does not repeal Congress' power to lay and collect taxes calculated from "incomes".

But it does create a new federal entitlement, the "FAMILY CONSUMPTION ALLOWANCE" .

The authors and the twenty-five FairTax Act’s Co-Sponsors in the House are suspiciously silent with regard to creating this new and massive federal entitlement and the devastating effects it would generate.

What is the estimated cost to finance the fairtax entitlement called the “Family consumption Allowance?

.

With all the brilliant 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. Kind of suspicious, wouldn't you say?

No activity in the House on FairTax Act since January 9th, 2023​

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.

I'm wondering how many of its supporters in the House are beginning to realize if adopted, the FairTax Act would actually enlarge Congress' taxing capabilities and be a crushing blow to our wage-earning citizens.

Why has Fox News, the home of “conservative” politics, been so negligent to not criticize the Fair Tax Family Consumption allowance entitlement?



I’m still wondering why Fox News, the home of “conservative” politics, has be so negligent to not criticize the proposed Fair Tax Family Consumption allowance entitlement.

When Social Security [today’s largest federal entitlement] 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 enacted, 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 divide 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.

So, why has Fox News, the home of “conservative” politics, not called out the twenty-five Republican Co-Sponsors who are pushing this new entitlement and ask them to explain why they embrace creating it, 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?

FairTax Act of 2023 may be stalled in House Ways and Means Committee . . . GOOD!​

.

As of February 10th, 2023, House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (MO) has nothing scheduled for the alleged FairTax Act of 2023.

CLICK HERE for Updates - House Committee on Ways and Means

My advice to Chairman Smith is to let the FairTax Act die rather than have its uniformed Republican Co-Sponsors attempt to defend it publicly and have to explain away its pitfalls. Seems they made a mistake by never reading the actual legislation and now with all the blowback, they are in a tight spot.

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 really allow.

They should have learned 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.
