AFFT calls on Congress to eliminate IRS targeting by enacting the FairTax® Press Release
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
AFFT calls on Congress to eliminate IRS targeting by enacting the FairTax®.
HOUSTON, TX - May16, 2013 - Americans For Fair Taxation® (AFFT), outraged by the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) continued political abuse and intimidation of citizens and organizations, is calling on Congress to immediately enact HR 25/S 122, the FairTax® Act of 2013 and phase out the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). "No person or group is safe from IRS targeting; everyone is a bull’s eye," said AFFT spokesperson Cynthia T. Canevaro.
She added, "The agency, with over 90,000 employees and an annual budget in excess of $12 billion, has historically been the ultimate tool of extreme political manipulation by politicians of both major parties. That’s exactly what our Founding Fathers feared."
"These types of abuses of are nothing new," said Dan Mastromarco, tax attorney and co-author of HR 25/S 122. He added, "In 1819, Former Chief Justice John Marshall warned in McCulloch v. Maryland that, ‘An unlimited power to tax involves, necessarily, a power to destroy.’ The FairTax Act is the only way in which Congress can once and for all eliminate the harassment, political exploitation and selective enforcement against perceived dissidents. It levels the playing field and redistributes power to the citizens who pay the taxes."
The FairTax Plan is a comprehensive proposal that replaces all federal income and payroll based taxes with a national retail sales tax, a "prebate" to ensure no American pays federal taxes on spending up to the poverty level, dollar-for-dollar federal revenue neutrality and, through companion legislation, the repeal of the 16th Amendment, which authorized the creation of the income tax.
"Congress has enabled IRS activities with more than 5,000 code changes in just 11 years, and even expanded their scope to include enforcement of major provisions of Obamacare," said Canevaro. "Congress created this problem. They now have an opportunity to correct it by enacting the FairTax Plan and asking the President to join them in signing the measure into law."

GOP in battle for who will control it
One truth is how the GOP has been highjacked by the neocon, the big government one world order crowd, who incidentally are a ruling power behind both parties.
When Bush came out with the bailout in September, it was at a time when McCain was surging 6% ahead in the polls. Why did the NEOCONS not want McCain. It was not McCain they feared but the honesty and truthfulness of Palin coming into the President of the Senate.
Also, the international banking community had agreed in BASIL IV to all National banks having to reveal their books and become transparent by August 1st 2008. Everyone did but the USA so they gave America an one month extension to September 1st at which time the US National banks to include the Federal Reserve did not and still have not revealed their books to the public. The trading of money funds daily was in an average of at least once a week at the amount of 400 to 500 billion dollars and for Bush to say we needed the bailout now made it totally suspect.
And when the democrats agreed to go along if they received 20 billion for ACORN and the neocons agreed, that finished exposing the power in the shadow of Washington as being of big government one world order and if ACORN, an stealth civilian army of the left, was acceptable to their plans, you can bet that this collapse of our fiscal is also part of their plan to destroy the US Dollar. Why else would we have left in place the closed trade tax structure and not fixed it to a free trade tax structure when Reagan put the Free trade policy into effect?
Our current fiscal crisis is the end of the road brought on by the excise tax that our current product tax is on our domestic production. Corporate types like Romney eagerly bought up struggling companies and moved them off shore to get around our production taxes, thus the great exodus of jobs from this country over the years. We are now witnessing that last to go, the big 3 auto companies. If they remain a presence, it will be to assemble foreign parts as the other are doing now.
The cure? Change our tax structure to the consumption tax known as the Fair Tax. That will bring back our manufacturing jobs as it will take the tax out of our product costs and will make for an equal tax on imports as well as domestic products. There is a progressive part the sends everyone back the tax amount of poverty wage whether one works or not so the poor are not harmed and actually will be finding good paying jobs to sustain their families again, making the American Dream a reality again and the need for a Nanny Government diminished and taxes lowered.
Sound too good to be true? From what I see coming, there is not much to lose. And if the Fair Tax plan is spoken too and taken serious the stock market will come roaring back. It is your choice, to become a part of the monstrous one world order or to return to the true value of the Constitution and individual States sovereignty.

Why we need the Fair Tax Plan now!

"We Will Recover," Says Obama. "No We Won't," Says Celente; Government Policies Doomed to Fail
"We will rebuild, we will recover, and the United States of America will emerge stronger than before," said President Obama.
Said Celente, "The government has yet to fix the levees in New Orleans. There is still a hole in the ground where the World Trade Center once stood. Washington has started two wars it can't win and doesn't know how to finish. The massive bank, brokerage, auto and insurance company bailouts have done nothing to resuscitate the sinking economy. The Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP) that candidate Obama championed has not "relieved." President Obama's $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act will not lead to recovery and the nation will not 'emerge stronger than before,'" Celente continued.

With only a succession of past Executive and Congressional failures to point to, and with the same people responsible for those failures still holding high office, the belief that this time around it will be miraculously different is nothing less than willful delusion.
