Has anyone looked into this plan? The claims are better then FairTax, but there is something that just don't sit right. What would control the Feds and how would States be free of Federal domination? How can such a taxation bring in so much revenue and be so small to the average citizen? It is scary on the surface as it sounds so promising.

The Transaction Tax | equality, simplicity, transparency

Learn how we calculate the Transaction Tax based on total US transactions. And how taxes would be instantly collected and wired to the US Treasury over our electronic banking network.

THETRANSACTIONTAX.ORG

The claim is $.35 per hundred of transaction.

The IRS Tax Code presently puts embedded taxes in American product and service. By this billing, the individual or business would have to increase the price of their product and service the amount of the tax expense on service provided. 

With the current system, business pay a 35% income tax(unless they bribed congress) and you know what families pay. The average embedding of tax is about 22% of product price and 29% of service price. 

The only tax that would make the USA be able to compete with imports and tax their consumption equally as with a sales tax.

Now I see this transaction tax, a consumption of transaction concept and see they may be on to something. It took 6 months for FairTax to reach Eureka.


I asked some friends at FaceBook 'FairTax 2012' Group what they thought of this Transaction tax::

Glenn J. Shapiro~ Its a VAT in disguise (?).
EVERY transaction is taxed, so the level of taxes can be large when products pass through several, if not many middlemen.

Tony Leach~  Glenn is right, any tax on transactions will be passed down as a cost of doing business so it's a VAT on transactions. Either way the people still pay it and it's hidden once again. All these other plans do the same thing but still have taxes being passed on. Why bother if we can just push them all to the end of the line and free up the economy from taxes 100%?

R. George Dunn~  Thank you gentleman, it gelled!

GOP in fear of Constitutional Conservatives taking over the Party, as they swing further to the left?

The acts of the GOP and the MRP attack on Dave and calling for putting the gay agenda as a plank on the platform  tells me that they see the handwriting on the wall and are more then happy to stop Constitutional conservatives by destroying the GOP rather then to have us triumph, preferring the left and the ever growing Federal Government power.

Stand strong but gentle Dave!

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."

Mackinaw Center-'Michigan's Gift to Texas? People' |MiFairTax PLEASE!

Mackinaw Center-'Michigan's Gift to Texas? People'

By Michael D. LaFaive | March 29, 2010

Recent primary elections in Texas have once again highlighted that state's status as a place people are moving to rather than away from. This makes it a focus of public policy interest for economists and demographers who want to know the reason or reasons that have made the Lone Star state perhaps the most dramatic among a number of American "destination" states. In contrast, Michigan is certainly the most dramatic "flight" state....read full article here
...Specifically, Hicks discovered that for every 10 percent increase in personal taxes, Michigan loses 4,900 people every year thereafter. So, the 11.5 percent personal income tax increase the Legislature imposed in 2007 has already driven more than 10,000 people out of Michigan.
By contrast, Texas has no income tax. This would be a distinct advantage even if it's overall tax burden were higher than in Michigan's, but in fact it is lower. The Washington, D.C.-based Tax Foundation reports that in 2008 Texas had the 43rd lowest state and local tax burden in the nation, while Michigan came in at 27th.
And taxes are just one variable. Michigan's hostile labor climate and regulatory regime are also adding to the lack of opportunity that's chasing people away.
***
My comment:
Michigan is one of the most socialist States in the USA while Texas is one of the most liberty oriented States in the Union. What Michigan needs to do to sustain their form of government is to liberate the people by providing the MiFairTax plan, bringing jobs and opportunity to Michigan.

Why FairTax will save Michigan Fiscally~Editorial to LSJ

Under the National FairTax plan, a product now costing $1.00 today will, under National FairTax, cost $.96 if manufactured in the USA and will cost $1.23 if imported.

A domestic product of $1.00 cost before FairTax will cost  $.78 under FairTax.  FairTax calls for a 23% tax to replace the unconstitutional spending at the Federal level.  Thus, $.78 *$.23=$.18 will be the federal sales tax.  Therefore, a $1.00 item before FairTax will be $.96 under Fairtax with tax included, a four percent reduction in product and tax total. 

The foreign imports now under our current tax at a $1.00 cost, will cost $1.23 under fairtax. This is not a form of excise on foreign  gods, but is making Free Trade, Fair Trade.

In just computing the FairTax implemented at the Federal level, that is a 27% decrease in USA manufacturing cost in comparison to foreign import costs.  How many manufacturing jobs will that bring back to USA?  How many jobs will Michigan and other States be able to gain, if they too implement the Michigan FairTax Plan?

 If Michigan adopts MIFairTax, the cost of Michigan products will be reduced more by elimination of the 22% MBT, personal property tax and income tax. How much of an advantage would this give Michigan in job creation, if Michigan will but adopt the MIFairTAx.org plan which Former State Representative Fulton Sheen sponsored?  Call on conservative Democrats and Republicans, "put Michigan first, not your Party and it's bosses, Lobbyists." 

Speaking of Lobbyists, how many Lobbyists will lose their job by not having to bribe Congressman for loopholes to protect their rich clients?

Incidently, all congressman, Federal and State, would change their allegance if we would change campaign finance law to wit:  'Only registered voters can contribute to any candidate's campaign.'

The regressive progressive income tax in MI will be degressive to jobs- Editorial to Detroit FreePress

The very definition of a regressive tax is the graduated income tax.  "A heavy or progressive or graduated income tax is necessary for the proper development of Communism." - Karl Marx
The way to end the return of employment is to foolishly go down this road.  As to our current tax structure not being regressive, how would you like to pay a MBT on your gross earnings? 

Our State is one of the most socialist States in the Union.  Is that bad?  Well at the State level, not as much as for the Federal Government.  But the same rule applies to employment attraction.  If you make the environment for business more difficult tax wise in Michigan, business will leave or never show up.  That is our problem here in the USA, especially Michigan with nearly the highest regressive tax system in the nation and near the bottom with employment and one of the fastest shrinking State in the Nation , population wise.  How much longer shall we run down this socialist road to destruction, to which history will provide all the proof you need, that socialism fails every time.

There is a tax system plan ready to go, that will provide the greatest incentive for Michigan to grow back jobs which will prosper Michigan and the needed tax revenue by bringing back jobs, which will increase spending which will increase jobs, which will increase spending which will increase jobs, all the while increasing tax revenue and lowing the % of tax needed to operate our State.  Also by choosing the tax system that is job oriented will empty our welfare rolls for the need will diminish greatly.

Our State is one of the most socialist States in the Union.  Is that bad?  Well at the State level, not as much as for the Federal Government.  But the same rule applies to employment attraction.  If you make the environment for business more difficult tax wise in Michigan, business will continue to leave or never show up.  That is our problem here in the USA with our product tax structure, especially Michigan with nearly the highest regressive tax system in the nation and near the bottom in employment and one of the fastest shrinking State in the Nation, population wise.  How much longer shall we run down this socialist road to destruction, to which history will provide all the proof you need, that socialism fails every time.

Here is a suggestion on what Michigan should do:  Replace Income and Business tax with FairTax- A sales Tax  http://www.mlive.com/opinion/bay-city/index.ssf/2009/11/replace_income_and_business_ta.html 
The MIFairTax.org plan will not tax the basic needs of everyone, rich and poor alike, by providing a tax credit or a check in the mail to pay for all spending at the ceiling of poverty wage, whether you work or not.  By doing this, the MI FairTax will end the need for a socialist path and will provide for a safety net to all without prejudice nor the need to bow down to a case worker.

To further enhance Michigan employment, support the National proposal to flood this Nation with jobs.  Go to http://fairtax.org/ and learn how and why adding to the cost of production is what has harmed America and Michigan so severely and that by putting tax on consumption will lower our manufacturing cost in product dramatically, especially in Michigan, resulting in manufacturing jobs flooding back to Michigan, the great talent pool of workers in the World.

Governor Cherry is very wrong. There is a plan in place ready to go. This plan will provide for what we have seen as a favoritism scheme on tax exempt. Look how industry would flock to Michigan, to it's education and talent pool. There is a plan ready right now to make it so business is not handicapped by increased production cost to pay for tax. Let the buyer pay the tax. Freedom comes to those who trust and we need that more then ever. Trust in the fact that if you stop taxing production, jobs will flood back into the USA and have world wide effect, stabilizing all their investment in Michigan, in us. http://mifairtax.org./
While at it, think what would happen on the National Level. http://fairtax.org/

Lt. Gov. John Cherry says Michigan is unprepared to make necessary tax changes to bail out state; Pew study agrees

By Jeff Cranson | The Grand Rapids Press

November 12, 2009, 1:30PM

Are Michigan lawmakers even capable of making the changes necessary to save the state?
Probably not, says Lt. Gov. John Cherry, Democratic front-runner for governor in 2010, reported the Detroit News.
Cherry's observation came a day after release of a sweeping study by the Pew Center on the States that concluded Michigan's state government ranks only behind Arizona and Rhode Island as most likely to follow California over a financial cliff....
(go to MIive and read about Michigans future if we don't change)
..."I'm not convinced the Legislature is capable of dealing with it," Cherry told MIRS, answering a question about whether legislators could achieve tax reform.

Why a Tea Party === US backing for world currency stuns markets

We must fight the fight.  There is hope to bring us back.  The Constitution was founded to protect from this by merely going by it's doctrine.  That is our hope, to awake America to TRUTH!  We are having a Tea Party in Lansing on the Capital steps on 4/15.  Some are gathering in front of Post Offices to protest the Federal Reserve and all the tyranny going on in the Federal Government.  People are coming!  There may be a bus lot set up for transporting to the steps.  Go here for details and to sign up  http://www.reteaparty.com/category/tea-parties/michigan/

George, Thought you & your recipients of your list might want more UNbiased coverage of tiny Tim's lastest blunder, and more importantly, the TRUTH about the corrupt Fed Reserve, "pimping OWE-bamunist's REAL agenda" prostituting the dollar - which is an insult to the world's oldest profession - and the dire consequences that will catch too many "average" American's by surprise & crush all of us, especially those least able to survive the catastrophy these utterly corrupt, greedy power lusting synchophants in DC are manipulating to keep the PRIVATE Fed banking/DEBT system afloat - at taxpayers expense...engineering not only the most massive power grab in the HISTORY of the world, but condemning furture generations into indentured servitude... Financial Times provides not only useful tools to understand & monitor the markets, it's editorials and resources provides salient insight for those unaware or naive... It was not without irony former Fed Chair Greenspan testified numerous times that we, as a nation, needed to better "educate" the public... the democrat's dominance of the dysfunctional, failed public education monopoly has DELIBERATELY dummed down, revised and omitted the most BASIC knowledge every generation needs - while denying parents free choice but demanding "choice" for abortion on demand, attempting to FORCE higher prices on all consumers by FORCING Unionization by Intimidation - aka Card Check - and the enormous SCAM & FRAUD ever perpetrated against all taxpayers, a long litany as you know. Following Market Watch & comments thereon, the RAGE can not be overstated. The politicians - especially OWE-bamunuts - are either ignorant, which is cureable, stupid, which is not, or, more likely, far more sinister than the vast majority realize.  The "sheeple" simply don't get it. They've been duped and are being fleeced and coerced into submission. We can't wait til July for more Tea parties...nor can any of us AFFORD to allow Congress to pass OWE-Bamunist's obscene bankrupting Marxist plot...on the way to installing his Islamic rule once he has destroyed the dollar & allowed China & Russia to impose a "new world currency" managed by the IMF - over which China wants greater say but refuses to play by fair rules, artificially manipulating & suppressing their currency - which Putin laid out in his Blueprint of the Future of US last month at Davos - which OWE-Buma didn't attend, empty suited coward that he is, sending credibility challenged tiny Tim  instead. At the Congressional Finance Committee hearings Tuesday, both Burnacke & tiny Tim gave the most succinct responses any official has uttered - as did OWE-Bamunut during his insufferable, contrived PARTISAN theatrics last night - to the question about US dollar as reserve currency...AS IF JUST SAYING THE DOLLAR WILL REMAIN the world's reserve currency makes it so - which they merely uttered JUST BECUZ THAT's what they know the Markets & Bankers want to hear... the writing is on the wall, folks... Some of the best advise market observers have been giving for over a year now is: "get your gold, guns and ammo" and stock up for a very long, hard time ahead. --- On Wed, 3/25/09, George <rgdunn@veionline.com> wrote: From: George <rgdunn@veionline.com> Subject: [mikehuckabee-154] US backing for world currency stuns markets To: mikehuckabee-154@meetup.com Date: Wednesday, March 25, 2009, 10:05 PM   ----- Original Message ----- From: R George Dunn To: Alger Meetup Sent: Wednesday, March 25, 2009 4:29 PM Subject: US backing for world currency stuns markets US backing for world currency stuns markets US Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner shocked global markets by revealing that Washington is "quite open" to Chinese proposals for the gradual development of a global reserve currency run by the International Monetary Fund.   http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/economics/5050407/US-backing-for-world-currency-stuns-markets.html By Ambrose Evans-Pritchard Last Updated: 8:12PM GMT 25 Mar 2009 US backing for world currency stuns markets The dollar plunged instantly against the euro, yen, and sterling as the comments flashed across trading screens.
