| The FairTax Picture of the Week 
Grant Swanson writes: I have this magnet on the back of my truck. I am getting many readers in my rear view mirror at "red lights". Lots of "thumbs ups". FairTax.org Staff Spotlight We would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to Michele Driver for her service to the FairTax as our Comptroller. Even through long nights of work and short schedules, her cheerfulness and dedication were an inspiration. Our organization is stronger because of her efforts and we wish her the very best as she moves to a different career field. Thank you Michele! The FairTax in the News FairTax seems like a simple choice – PostBulletin We all have to make tough choices in life. Choosing between the current income tax and the FairTax is not that tough. How would you like to get your entire paycheck, for an immediate 10 percent raise, maybe more? How would you like to never have to file another income tax form for the rest of your life? How would you like to see a number for the cost of running the federal government on every cash register receipt? How would you like to see trillions of dollars returned to the U.S. from Switzerland, Cayman Islands, Hong Kong, etc. to jump start the economy and restore "Made in America?"… - David Boone, Houston, MN Federal tax system needs overhaul – Lacrosse Tribune Our income tax system is the most fundamental interface we have with our government. Yet in this most fundamental interface with government, we don't understand the tax system. The tax code consists of some 70,000 pages. It has been estimated we spend $900 per person each year complying with the tax code. That's a total of about $265 billion each year… We can leave our children and grandchildren something better. The Fair Tax organization has drafted bills for both the House and the Senate, H.R. 25 and S.13. The Fair Tax organization has sufficient support that there have been committee hearings on these bills. - Don Fiegen, La Crescent, MN The February FairTax Webinar With Special Topic: Actual Dollars the FairTax Puts in Your Pocket Compared to Our Current Tax Code When: Thursday, February 23, 2012 Time: 8 pm Eastern, 7 pm Central, 6 pm Mountain, 5 pm Pacific Where: At your personal computer anywhere!
