        <content>The Fairtax WILL pass, and it will be thanks to those of us who chose to become educated on the details of the Fairtax, as well as the Fairtax Act itself (a link to the full bill can be found on fairtax.org) instead of ending the research at the ridiculous arguments against it, such as those spreading the lie that it is actually 30% (which, of course, it's not).</content>

        <content>I agree with all of the above and I would only add that the FairTax would greatly accelerate re-tooling for alternate transportation energy sources. It frees up our country to free invest in new technologies without our success being taxed each step of the way. 
As well as explaining how the FairTax works, we might leverage that knowledge to share how this affects our future fighting terrorism. When we re-tool and only after that, will we begin to dry up the money pit that terrorists live on.. The FairTax strategy increases our national security on many levels.

It frees up our country to free invest in new technologies without our success being taxed each step of the way. &lt;br /&gt;
As well as explaining how the FairTax works, we might leverage that knowledge to share how this affects our future fighting terrorism. When we re-tool and only after that, will we begin to dry up the money pit that terrorists live on.. The FairTax strategy increases our national security on many levels.&lt;/p&gt;

Many great talking points have been buried inside comments in discussion threads, but a brief summery of what we are trying to achieve is a good thing.

As the title of this agenda suggest, &quot;Replace the Income tax with the Fairtax&quot;  is self explanatory.  But it doesn't stop there. We would like to replace Capitol Gains, Corporate Income, Payroll and personal income taxes, with a very simple Sales Tax for federal funding  with the benefits of encouraging the brand &quot;Made in America&quot; for more jobs and American security,  while removing the horendus burden of trying to comply with 70,000+ pages of complicated tax code.

We also would like to effectively unburden all Americans from paying taxes at a poverty level of spending. As it is now, the poor are expecualy burdened with regressive employee payroll taxes and the embedded cost of (capitol gains, corporate and employer paid payroll taxes not to mention the additional cost of tax lawyers and accountants to comply with the present overly complex tax code) in the products they purchase.
