The current Federal income tax system is broken. Patching up the existing code is pointless. It's time for a fresh approach, a fair approach. It's time for the FairTax. Simply put, the FairTax replaces the way we're currently taxed - based on our annual income - with a tax on goods and services. The FairTax is a voluntary “consumption" tax: the more you buy, the more you pay in taxes, the less you buy, the less you pay in taxes. It's simple. Everyone pays their fair share of taxes, and with the FairTax rebate, spending up to the poverty level is tax free. The Federal government is fully funded, including Social Security and Medicare, and you don't need an expert to determine your Federal taxes. It's simple.

Tax Briefing Book Tax Reform The Armey Flat Tax Rep. Dick Armey (R-TX) has introduced the Freedom and Fairness Restoration Act (H.R. 1040 in the 105th Congress). This act would reform the U.S. tax system, slash government spending and rein in federal regulation. It is the most radical reform proposal in recent memory to receive serious consideration on Capitol Hill. Tax Reform: Trading Deductions for a Lower Tax Rate. The key element of the Armey plan is tax reform. Based on a proposal developed by Stanford University professors Robert Hall and Alvin Rabushka, the plan would scrap virtually all current deductions, credits, exclusions and exemptions, as well as the five current tax brackets. In their place, it would establish a single tax rate 20 percent the first two years and 17 percent thereafter on a much broader tax base. "More than half of all personal income goes untaxed." The Armey plan does not promise a free lunch. Lower tax rates are possible only if the tax base is expanded by ridding the tax code of deductions and exclusions even such popular items as the mortgage interest deduction. This means that in return for lower rates, people will have to subject more of their income to taxes. Under the current tax system, more than one-half of all personal income goes untaxed because of various deductions, exclusions and exemptions (see

In addition to putting in place an unreasonable cap that will likely result in major cuts to state services over time, the TABOR amendment will erode our democracy by tilting the balance of power toward those with deep pockets at the expense of everyday citizens.

In Wisconsin this plan continues essential services, provides all students an equal educational opportunity, cuts property taxes statewide 85%, reduces the state income tax rate to 4% on all income above poverty level, reduces the state sales tax rate to 4%, allows for the expansion of health care to the poor, makes taxes fair, and makes government efficient. 1.

I have even received phone calls and letters regarding the A.R.P. and also the stand that I had personally taken over the gun issue. I was sorry to see that the pistols have now been included, which we said would happen at the time. I only wish that a lot of shooters had continued their support to the A.R.P. so that we could have help more (other parties were worried because of our membership numbers). It was disappointing to see them vote LIB/NAT or A.L.P. after so much effort was made to form the A.R.P. with 6000 members. We are considerably smaller now but are growing again with members all around Australia.. I am pleased to say that we should be incorporated by the time you receive this. It has taken four years to finalise, and now we are no longer registered as a company with A.S.I.C. We were limited in our ability to make any political comments or suggestions until now.

Home Information FAQ GST ... Members Community The Mission of Prosper Australia is to create prosperity and full employment by collecting the rental from land and natural resources instead of taxation. W hen it's all boiled down, there are only two things that Government can tax: the value you produce, or the resources you use. Today, Government relies almost entirely on taxing the value you produce and leaves resources untaxed. This has two results: » Taxes on the value you produce stifle productivity, increase prices and cause poverty and unemployment. » The 5% of people who control over 80% of our nation's resources get richer every year by charging a price of admission to our nation's resources. The real solution to unemployment and poverty is to stop taxing the value you produce and to put taxes back on resources. Resource taxes are simple, fair, impossible to avoid, and do not penalise productivity. Georgist Street Party. May 3rd - 7th. Find out who's coming here.

The Tax Reform Act of 1986 The Tax Reform Act of 1986 was one of the major accomplishments initiated by the Reagan Administration, passed by a Democratic House and Republican Senate. One of the most important pieces of tax legislation since WWII, it sought to "level the playing field" by curbing tax shelters, lowering corporate tax rates, and eliminating special treatment for capital gains. Thereafter, capital gains, earned income, and unearned income were all taxed at the same rate. In economists' language, it brought the average marginal tax rates on labor and capital income closer together. Since 1986, other tax legislation has again increased taxation on earned income to a higher rate than that on capital gains, which again received preferential status. While the top rate on capital gains remained at 28%, the top earned income tax rate was increased to 31% in 1991 in a package endorsed by President Bush as a tactic for addressing burgeoning federal deficits. This violated his "Read my lips...No new taxes." campaign pledge as was thought to be a factor underlying his defeat in the 1992 elections. In 1993, under President Clinton, the earned income rate climbed even higher, to 39.6%. Other features of the Tax Reform Act of 1986: Tax cut . The top marginal tax rate on wealthiest individuals was reduced 44% (from 50% percent to 28%). The marginal rates for leass wealthy individuals were also reduced, but not by as high a percentage. Tax reductions were said by some critics to underly the massive mushrooming of the federal deficit during the Reagan administration.

In March 1992, I wrote "Fear Japan's Feeble Economy" for the Wall Street Journal. That piece was ridiculed by industrial-policy enthusiasts such as Eamonn Fingleton of The Atlantic, who remained confident that Japan's economy would grow faster than ours. Since 1992, however, Japanese economic growth has averaged less than 1.3 per cent a year, and much of that has consisted of wasteful make-work projects. Until recently, news reports were still saying that Japan was "on the brink" of recession. By now, however, it is pretty obvious that Japan's economy has declined during four of the past five quarters. As of April, industrial production was down 6.2 per cent from a year before. Retail sales have been running about 8.5 per cent lower than a year ago. Numbers like this are beginning to raise concerns even among Japan's most ardent admirers. But attention to the immediate crisis is not enough. There are quick-fix policies that could probably shorten the recession, but they would do nothing to counteract the longer-term suffocation of Japan's economic vitality.

State of the Union Governance Radical Tax Reform The tax system is unfair and inefficient, and fails to generate enough revenue to cover government expenditures. Here's how to fix that by Maya MacGuineas e have become accustomed to thinking that taxes, like hemlines, can only go up or down. This isn't true. Over the centuries changes in the form of U.S. taxes have been at least as dramatic as changes in the rate of taxation. For instance, most federal revenues now come from personal and corporate income taxes, and from the payroll taxes that fund Social Security and Medicare. But most government revenues originally came from excise taxes on luxury items such as tobacco, spirits, and sugar, and throughout much of the nineteenth century the bulk of federal revenues came from tariffs on imported manufactured goods. In fact, the federal income tax, which we tend to think of as an eternal fixture, was introduced as an emergency measure during the Civil War, and did not become permanent until the Sixteenth Amendment was ratified, in 1913. Even then income taxes were levied on only the richest Americans. Not until World War II did the income tax metamorphose into something we would easily recognize today: a mass tax that reached the middle class.
