Change the Tax Code

HOW
     Pass the FAIR TAX, known as ( H.R.25 ) in the House and ( S.25 ) in the Senate.

WHY
     The FAIR TAX is exactly  what it would take to make the Tax Code fair to everyone. The 
Middle Class and people in the Poverty Level would have MORE money to spend. Corporations and Richer Americans would NEVER be EXEMPT from paying taxes. Lobbyist would no longer be able to influence Congress. Illegal Aliens, people who are "paid under the table" and even visitors and vacationers from other countries would help us fund our Government because every new item they purchase, would have the tax included in it.
     This plan would bring American companies and corporations BACK to the United States along with many foreign investors. The approximately Three Trillion Dollars sitting offshore not getting taxed, would no longer be a benefit to those who are using this tactic. This would create hundreds of  thousands of JOBS but more likely in the millions. With this plan, America would be on the road to PROSPERITY again and we would be on the way to paying off our National Debt within 10 years. The I.R.S. would be greatly reduced and tax filings, ie. April 15th, would be gone forever.
     So, if this is such a great Bill, why has it not been passed, after all, it's been sitting in Congress for the last 12 years? Because, Lobbyist for interest groups as well as the Lobbyist themselves don't want it passed for the reason stated above. So by donating $$ to the campaign of Congress and President,they are able to "buy" their loyalty and never allow the Bill to be voted on. To get this Bill through Congress, you have to have a President behind it.
     The Tax Code today is 8000 pages. The Fair Tax is 25. You can get all of the information on this website: http://www.fairtax.org/site/PageServer?pagename=about_main and http://www.fairtax.org/site/PageServer

Did You Know This?

The U.S. Congress sets a federal budget every year in the trillions of dollars. Few people know how much money that is so we created a breakdown of federal spending in simple terms. Let's put the 2011 federal budget into perspective:
U.S. income: $2,170,000,000,000
. Federal budget: $3,820,000,000,000
. New debt: $ 1,650,000,000,000
. National debt: $14,271,000,000,000
. Recent budget cut: $ 38,500,000,000 (about 1 percent of the budget)

It helps to think about these numbers in terms that we can relate to.
Therefore, let's remove eight zeros from these numbers and pretend this is the household budget for the fictitious Jones family:
. Total annual income for the Jones family: $21,700
. Amount of money the Jones family spent: $38,200
. Amount of new debt added to the credit card: $16,500
. Outstanding balance on the credit card: $142,710
. Amount cut from the budget: $385
---------------------------------------------------------------
In 2009, 53% of tax payers, paid all of the taxes and the other 47% paid none.

The top 1% of income earners pay 40% of all the taxes.
The top 2% of income earners pay 50% of all the taxes.

In a 10 year period, ending in 2009, 8 out of 10 corporations paid no taxes and at the same time, some received subsidies from taxpayers.

If you cut out the Department of Defense Budget, which includes the entire military here and overseas, you would have 200 Billion left over after paying just the interest on out National Debt for one year.

If you took the entire salaries of the people who make $100,000 and up, you would have enough to operate the Federal Government for about 3 to 4 months.

If you took the entire profits of corporations, you could operate the Federal Government to about July of every year.
