Under the current income tax system, "middle class" WAGE EARNERS shoulder most of the burden by paying more than their share.

The Fair Tax addresses the underground cash economy where income is never reported. Everyone who enjoys the benefits of living in this country should have "skin in the game". If you make a little, you should pay a little... make a lot, pay a lot. Work for cash, you're taxed when you spend it.

The Fair Tax has a built-in adjustment to address the needs of those who are below poverty level. Everyone would receive a "prebate" equal to the amount of tax that would be collected on sales up to poverty level purchases. That way, everyone receives the same exemption, no special carve-outs.

Aside from that, consider that the IRS takes "their" share out of your paycheck BEFORE you are entitiled to it. With the Fair Tax, YOU decide when to pay a tax, not the IRS. No more April 15th or tax accountants, No taxes on your savings unless you spend it.

I'm sure many of you can see other benefits from doing away with the current inefficient and unfair system of taxation. Our country needs taxes to pay for our NEEDS but the average citizen shouldn't be subjected to abusive agency scrutiny or unfair burden along the way.

The Fair Tax is more in line with what you would expect to see in a "Free Society". It's YOUR money, not the IRS's!
Perhaps this might explain best what's actually happening and why we can't seem to do anything about it:

Don't buy a Samsung, I have one. It's a POS in my opinion. Made with cheap plastic parts that keep breaking. The ice maker is the worst of all.

I'm looking to restore my 17 ft. bay boat with 90 h.p. Yamaha engine back to top condition before putting it up for sale. It's been sitting idle for a while with no serious issues. I'd be thankful for any recommendations ya'll might have for a reliable repair shop in the Baton Rouge area. Any help/information would be much appreciated.

Yeah. Let’s pretend we don’t know this is really about Marathon’s “diversity” initiative. What the hell do Marathon bigshots sitting in Findlay, Ohio care about Southern landmarks or culture. Wokeness has replaced tolerance and reason. They shove that crap down their workers’ throats. If they don’ want it, sell it to someone who does.

I will NEVER buy another Samsung appliance. I have had brittle plastic pieces breaking off the mullion, storage compartments and ice maker in my refrigerator. Ice maker leaks and makes chunks of ice that jam the damn thing. Clumps of ice crack the plastic parts. Paid a sh*tload of money for cheap plastic. Others I spoke to about this have similar complaints. Stay away from Samsung and LG as well. Both are crap.
If the hospital is strictly private, that's their business... but if they take a dime of the taxpayer's money, hell no! How can they use taxpayer money to discriminate against and punish tax paying citizens? What if you've already had the China virus, would you have to take the vaccine anyway? What if you have a medical condition that contradicts the use of the vaccine? What gives them the right to know your medical history anyway? HIPAA laws, anyone? What happened to "reasonable accommodation"?

Get yourself one of these live traps and bait it with peanuts, apple, or anything else a squirrel might eat. Won't have to deal with a dead squirrel rotting in your attic...

Your toilet vent may be partially obstructed.
You can bet your arse that if the St. George vote had failed by a single vote, these same jerks would fight tooth and nail to convince us that it was a fair and honest election and that the "people" had their say. Damn hypocrites!
