Dear Eric,

Whenever a politician tells you he needs your tax dollars “for the children,” hold on to your wallet!

National per-pupil education spending has skyrocketed over the years, yet we’ve long known that added money hasn’t budged high-school graduation rates or test scores for reading, math, or science.

And now, the latest numbers on the federal Department of Education reaffirm the complete failure of federal education spending.

According to the latest National Assessment of Educational Progress, barely over a quarter of the country’s high-school seniors are proficient in math, and just 38 percent reach proficiency in reading.

The cold hard truth is, the NAEP shows no improvement whatsoever in reading ability since the 1970s.

We shouldn’t be surprised.

After all, for years our student achievement has lagged behind that of countries who spend far less on education than we do.

The fact is, the federal Department of Education is a costly and pointless middleman.

Sending education money to Washington, D.C. then letting them distribute it back does nothing but load it with administrative costs and red tape.

Leaving taxpayers like you and me to foot the bill.

Education + bureaucrats is an equation that just doesn’t add up.

Just as President Reagan advocated when he was in office, it’s time to eliminate the middleman -- and abolish the Department of Education.

Sincerely,

Gary Paumen, President
National League of Taxpayers

P.S. Billions of federal tax dollars spent over decades have completely failed to help America’s children in reading, math, science, or graduation.

The verdict is in: the federal bureaucracy wasting that money has got to go.

That’s why it’s vital you click here immediately to sign your “Abolish the Department of Education” petition to your Congressman and Senators.

If you are able, please click here to chip in with $10 or $15, or whatever you can afford.

Every dollar is appreciated. We receive no government funding.

10/23/14 FROM The Hill

A federal judge on Thursday ordered the IRS to detail under oath how some of former agency official Lois Lerner’s emails went missing, as well as any potential methods for recovering them.

Judge Emmet Sullivan of the U.S. District Court in Washington gave the Internal Revenue Service exactly a month — until Aug. 10 — to file a report, which he demanded as part of a lawsuit from a conservative watchdog, Judicial Watch, against the agency.

Judicial Watch is seeking a wide range of documents from the IRS, including Lerner’s emails, as part of a Freedom of Information Act request. It has complained that the IRS didn’t tell it that the agency couldn’t recover all of Lerner’s emails from 2009 to 2011.

Sullivan cast his ruling as a compromise, and a potential way for Judicial Watch to get answers without the court wading any deeper into the matter. Judicial Watch had asked the court to potentially compel IRS officials to testify about the lost emails, through a process called limited discovery.

 

FROM Project to RESTORE AMERICA

The FairTax is a consumption tax unilaterally applied to all Americans at the same rate. For businesses, payroll taxes would no longer exist. Our exports would include a heavy tax for overseas buyers purchasing our products, while our imports would be cheaper for us to purchase. I'm not sure how this would affect GDP, as more information is necessary.

According to the FairTax website, "Under the FairTax, every person living in the United States pays a sales tax on purchases of new goods and services, excluding necessities due to the prebate." The prebate gives every legal resident household an "advance refund" at the beginning of each month so that purchases made up to the poverty level are tax-free.

So a family of four making something like $50,000/year should not have to pay taxes, thus preventing an unfair burden on low-income families. Since the FairTax eliminates both federal and payroll taxes, you get to keep your gross pay amount of each paycheck earned.
