***Final Word***

-   ***the Presidential Tax Reform Commission***

***Carcasses, Legacies & 'Running on empty'...***

There's going to be a whole lot of ***spiel*** on **fundamental tax
reform** being "revenue neutral." --- This opens up a whole bag of worms
for the pundits **and** parasitic, income tax counter-culture to use the
destructive, mainstream media as a forum to continue brainwashing the
American public... carcasses all of them, food for ***their*** worms.

**I** believe (and sincerely hope and pray) our President makes all the
hard decisions.

President Bush says he believes his job is to LEAD, not to be popular.
Legacies are found on not-so-popular leaders who did **that** which
needed doing for *their time...* Graveyards of history are strewn with
carcasses, popular during their time but worm-bait waiting for *their
day* of judgment. -- Carcasses greatly outnumber Legacies.

Passage of the Fair Tax Act (S/H.R.25 -- this Session of Congress) is a
simple matter. Complexities arise because of the Neville Chamberlains of
our day... fools all of them. Not assuring substantive, fundamental tax
reform today is to invite the soon demise of our America--- encompassing
every factor in our economic **and** national security: Trade Balance,
National Debt, Social Security, Economic Vitality, Personal Freedom...

***Undeviating Integrity---***

The United States of America's future rests in the hands of a few. **God
help us**, as *they* surely won't. Congress is full of
politically-motivated, near-sighted, full-of-self lawyers, believing
them-selves to be lawmakers. Where is honor; where is justice?

***The income tax is a 'Carcass in waiting'...***

Don't believe for one minute that the income tax will stand forever. Its
demise is around the corner: A fool's folly to ensnare our economy in
order to enrich a few, aggrandize the *powerful* and then spoil the
relative productivity of a great nation. Incumbent to the income tax
scheme is "bracket creep." This insidious mechanism has broken homes by
forcing homemakers---mothers to *work* rather than attend to their
high-calling. This displacement of home and hearth has eroded the
American family sanctity and undermined the overall character of our
nation. --- Women are forced by station and circumstance to perform
menial tasks and leave the raising of their children to strangers. How
foolish can we allow ourselves to become! Income tax is perpetuated by
the ***Bracket Creeps*** in Congress who live by their own rules.

Thankfully, the income tax, and if enacted, the flat income tax (by
whatever form) eventually collapses under its own mass, volume and sheer
weight in intentionally confusing and ambiguous verbiage and
contradictions... Hopefully, this collapse of the Internal Revenue
Service and income tax (IT) revenue system does not take rest of the
country down with IT. If all or most of Congress is "tarred and
feathered" and "run out of town on a rail" so be it. -- My bucket of tar
and my rough-hewn rail is ready and gleefully waiting for these
irresponsible, outrageous malfeasants. -- I've personally visited *every
member* of Congress and know whereof I speak this day.

***The Legacy of Integrity and Honor...***

***We the People ---*** Constitutionally-based sovereign citizens in and
of the United States of America --- *"the land of the free and home of
the brave"* --- have allowed our leadership to espouse and nurture a
cruel, inequitable, ambiguous federal (revenue) tax system. --- I know
first-hand whereof I speak: our nation is strewn with hopeless
individuals whose lives have been wrecked by "*our"* Congress and the
income tax.

Be sure that Judgment Day has special provisions for those who abused
their posts, so-called "powerful" senators and congressman who stole the
lives and livelihood of productive Americans to give to others, even
strangers "outside our gates" for their personal position and gain. -- I
know first-hand whereof I speak. --- The nation is on limited, borrowed
time as a preeminent "super-power" on its present course. Many citizens
have closed their businesses because of the IRS and the income tax. Many
refused to be "tax collectors" for the government with all inherent
legal or logistical pitfalls. -- Trillions of man-hours, equating to
productive lives have been lost forever.

And we worry about "revenue neutral." \-- President Reagan implemented
the Tax Reform Act of 1986 -- supposedly a "four-tier" flat tax system.
A one-tier flat income tax might start off as "politically correct" but
its demise will be brutal. As Reagan's Tax Reform Act, or original
federal income tax, the flat tax will escalate over time.

***Running on Empty...***

That's US --- ***We the People*** ***---*** The intrusive federal income
tax and its little sisters, the corresponding state income taxes take
away **every** aspect of sovereign privacy and proprietorship. --- As
stated earlier, a fairly recent invention, the deceptive, and
with-holding of income scheme (**withholding tax**) is robbing incubator
and start-ups in our national commerce --- is denying small businesses
of valuable resource. We're *running on empty*---the national news media
has given us *warm and fuzzy* blinders.

> There is everything fundamental wrong in a tax system---the income
> tax---that induces ordinary, hard-working, **productive and *basically
> honest*** American citizens to allegedly *"lie and cheat"* in order to
> keep what is rightfully theirs in the first place: What's rightfully
> ours? **Individually, hard-earned wages** or proprietary income ---
> the fruits of creativity, fortune and industry---**is ours.**

***The income tax is a predatory system...***

Our nation prospers in spite of the income tax --- federal/states'
revenue system, not because of it. We are calling for **"revenue
neutral"** when we **[should]{.underline}** be seeking "revenue
transparent" both income & disbursement: Twenty-three percent works!

**--- "The current tax code is a daily mugging." *--- Ronald Reagan***

***The only true goal of the President's tax reform commission***

***--- Get rid of IT ... the income tax and IRS forever and ever.***

The only goal the **Presidential Tax Reform Panel** should have is to
get rid of IT --- the income tax and immediately (not piecemeal) replace
IT with a national retail sales tax, the Fair Tax capped at 23% ---
Political-based dilution leads to our inevitable ruin.

***Cease & Desist the income tax forever...***

1.  The national debt will be reduced

2.  The trade deficit will be reduced

3.  The "underground economy" will be reduced

4.  The nation's productivity will be increased

5.  The real priorities will become our focus
