1Declaration: Free Markets, Free People, Free Minds

Are you:

• Tired of being penalized for working hard, taking 2 jobs to support your family and then being told that because you now earn more you have to pay more in taxes when you are struggling to make ends meat?
  
• Frustrated that you try to save or invest for college, for retirement, or for a day when you may lose your job and then you are penalized with a capital gains tax for your sound financial decisions?
  
• Annoyed that corporations keep moving their jobs overseas?
• Bothered by the recent economic downturn and the government just puts a band aid on a problem that requires surgery?
• Disgusted with politicians who like to spew class warfare rhetoric and then wonder why the nation is divided?
• Tired of not receiving your entire paycheck to decide where your money should go and how much of it?
• Fed up with the IRS, filing income taxes, and spending valuable time and money to make sure your taxes are right and then being audited to be told you miscalculated your taxes by a dime and be assessed a severe penalty?
• Disgusted that the government can view your private financial documents on a whim?
  

Dear President Elect Obama,

During your campaign cycle you continuously stated that you would bring change to Washington. As your administration takes the reigns from the Bush administration you will be forced to deal with a declining economy and a shrinking job market. I am one of those in the job hunt myself. To remedy these problems will require clear thinking, decisive action, and a new bold direction that will make America a haven for unprecedented economic growth, job creation, and a rational tax policy. For these reasons I hope you will give proper, careful, and at length consideration to the FairTax, which will be a true agent of change for every American, the American economic system, and restore a sound, fair, and transparent taxation system to our great Nation.

The income tax system no matter the changes that have been or will potentially be made to it will ensure unequal treatment of Americans and will act as an inhibitor of economic/job growth. Not to mention that an income tax system by definition penalizes and gives disincentives towards hard work, high achievement, savings for retirement, education, or for a rainy day, investment, and capital formation.

The FairTax resolves many of the underlying problems that led to the economic problems we are currently facing by rewarding saving, investment, and sound financial endeavors. Aside from the fact that every American would have more money in their pocket to reduce personal debt because they are able to keep their entire paycheck. This would allow financial institutions to acquire capital rapidly thus easing problems with lending and making credit more abundant.

The FairTax aside from remedying the economically stagnating income tax system and penalization for achievement and savings helps remedy other problems such as saving for retirement, an insolvent Social Security system, a greatly indebted Medicare/Medicaid systems, eliminating a wasteful and inefficient federal agency (the IRS), and restoring American protections to security in papers and the restoration of the prohibition of direct taxation that were removed with the passage of the 16th Amendment.

The FairTax has so many benefits that it is impossible to present them all to you with much brevity so I will conclude.

The FairTax is the kind of change America desperately needs and millions of Americans will be looking toward you to usher in after your campaign. It is time to bring a transparent, simple, fair, and economically favorable tax system to America. I look forward to the day when you bring forth true change and embrace the FairTax.

In Liberty,
