Fiscal Irresponsibility: |
Uncle Sam, the thief, taking citizens for a ride!!!

 Dear Eric, Senator Claire McCaskill is no champion of fiscal responsibility . . . but you wouldn’t know it from how she’s been talking to her constituents lately. The Missouri Democrat recently said our “irresponsible” $17 trillion national debt threatens to “swallow us up,” and even admitted we got in this hole by “making the federal government the answer to everything.” “I mean, we weren’t supposed to be buying municipal fire trucks at the federal government, we’re doing that now,” McCaskill said. “That’s not the way our Constitution was designed. We weren’t supposed to have the federal government paying for education.” But if big-government spending really bothers Senator McCaskill, then why did she vote for all of it, including ObamaCare, Obama’s failed so-called stimulus bill, and the latest hike to the federal debt ceiling? There’s only one reason tax-and-spend politicians would ever talk this way: fear that their voters are fed up with all the waste -- and are looking for politicians to hold accountable. That’s why your support is so important. They can see the political tide turning in this election year, so they’re trying to bury their votes under enough common-sense platitudes to make themselves seem responsible. Of course, McCaskill isn’t up for re-election until 2018, so she still has time before she has to worry about backing up her words with actual votes. But the fact that she still felt the need to say anything is telling. Plenty of her fellow tax-and-spenders who see the same trends will have to face the music this November, and are working hard to distance themselves from their tax-and-spend records. But empty words and vague political statements don’t change policy. Voting records, however, do. That’s why you and I must keep the pressure on Members of Congress. Either support a Balanced Budget Amendment, vote to repeal ObamaCare, and vote against any and all new taxes, higher spending, and more regulations, or face the political consequences. Sincerely,
P.S. Barack Obama, Harry Reid and their big-government allies are doing everything they can to spend our nation into oblivion. To fight back, your National League of Taxpayers relies completely on the support of concerned Americans like you. And even $5 or $10 can go a long way. If you are able, please click here to chip in with $10 or $15 to enable your National League of Taxpayers to mobilize more members and hold the politicians accountable. Every dollar is appreciated. We receive no government funding.

 FROM Project to RESTORE AMERICAThe 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. |
