Zap the IRS declares a national day of mourning to mark the centennial of one of the saddest days in American history! On July 12th, 1909, the 61st Congress passed and submitted for ratification to the then 48 States an amendment that would empower the government to directly tax income from any source without apportionment by population. A day that will live in infamy!
I’ve long been a supporter of FreedomWorks, formerly Citizens for a Sound Economy. Sadly, they have to this point been dead set on supporting the Flat Tax, likely having to do with Dick Army’s influence within the organization.
A friend of mine just sent me this link:http://www.freedomworks.org/scrapthecode/vote.php
Freedomworks is finally taking a poll to see which the [...]
Singer Lloyd Marcus told the crowd assembled in Lake Eola Park on Saturday that he was going to give them his take on the first days of the Obama administration.
Then he shrieked.
Here is the video from Tuesday’s special order on the FairTax.
I would agree with many comments I have seen around the web that if they ever have the opportunity to present the FairTax again in this manner, that they will drop the blatant partisanship when discussing it.

Keynesian economics, the belief that government spending is more effective at stimulating an economy than the private sector, is flawed for multiple reasons. You have to understand that the government has no money that it hasn’t first taxed out of the economy. That’s reality, that’s common sense.
Let us falsely assume for a moment that government spending and debt is “stimulative”. Let us also believe the fear mongering and flat out lie committed by our President yesterday saying that this is the worst economy since the great depression. (I guess he forgot the early 80’s where inflation and unemployment were both in double digits, the oil embargo of the 70’s, etc, etc)
Mike Huckabee presents a short speech on October 5 to the Americans for Prosperity “Defending the American Dream Summit”. I usually try not to just copy posts from the Huckabee blog, but I loved this speech. Mike Huckabee just gets it.
I always love listening to rhetoric and then watching the same people who spout it ignore an opportunity to do something about it. Case in point: I just received a fundraising letter from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. No, I’m not a Democrat, but I sign up for everyone’s email list to keep in touch. [...]
I was thrilled to read today that HR25, the FairTax, has added a few more co-sponsors and is now up to, drum roll please, 66 in the House of Representatives. (67 if you include sponsor John Linder).
The passage of this bill would represent the greatest transfer of power from government back to the people in the [...]
