George Washington's quote below is a reminder that our first president feared the power and influence that can accrue to any government when it does not serve the people. If any government believes that the people do not care, that they are asleep and unconcerned, such a government will pillage and remove our freedoms as surely and as fast as they can. The FairTax takes us back to the principals of our founding fathers. The FairTax places fiscal power and responsibility back in the hands of the people where our founding fathers meant it to reside. Today's political elite fear a FairTax, because it reduces their power to play political games and grant political favors. Which do we want? To be free, or to be slaves to the powerful few? To make an informed choice is still an option, but that choice must be followed by a VOTE.   Donald S. "DOBY" Dobrosky Sr. Editor: Michigan FairTax Clarion Sentinel     NOTABLE AND QUOTABLE George Washington: "Government is not reason,      it is not eloquence, it is force; Like fire, a trouble- some servant and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action."

Wouldn't that be fair and simple? Exempting items by category is neither fair nor simple. Economists have shown that the wealthy spend much more on unprepared food, clothing, housing, and medical care than do the poor. Exempting these goods, as many state sales taxes do, actually gives the wealthy a disproportionate benefit.   Also, today these purchases are not exempted from federal taxation. The purchase of food, clothing and medical services is made from after-income-tax and after-payroll-tax dollars, and their purchase price hides the cost of corporate taxes and private sector compliance costs.   Finally, exempting one product or service but not another, opens the door to the army of lobbyists and special interest groups that plague and distort our taxation system today as they seek special tax treatment. Those who have the money will send lobbyists to Washington and Lansing to obtain special tax breaks in their own self-interest. This process causes unfair and inefficient distortions in our economy that the FairTax stops.. Contribute to success!   Your donation helps to educate the public
