Fair Tax
The Fair Tax: Key To Republican Victory?
By Daniel G. Jennings
There is a simple action Republicans can take to turn what could be a humiliating defeat into a massive electoral victory this fall: commit to replacing the income tax with the Fair Tax (www.fairtax.org).
The Fair Tax is a 23 percent national sales tax that would replace all federal income taxes Fair Tax legislation is currently being pushed in Congress (HR 25/S 1493). Democrats and their masters in the media elite have ignored the Fair Tax because the idea is popular with average people. The liberal elite hates the Fair Tax because under it they would loose all manner of tax breaks they benefit from.
If Republicans want victory in November they should commit to the Fair Tax in a big way. President Bush should hold a press conference and announce that he will sign the Fair Tax if it is passed. The Senate and House GOP leadership should announce that they’re bringing the Fair Tax to a vote and twist the arms of Republican Senators and Congressmen to vote for it.
The Republican message should be the Fair Tax, the Fair Tax is popular when it’s mentioned on talk radio the calls are overwhelming supportive. Republicans who ran on the issue in 2004 were victorious despite Democratic efforts to paint the Fair Tax as an effort to give “a tax break to the rich.”
Democrats are scared to the death of the Fair Tax, they know that average people are fed up with the tax system and would like radical change. This is why the mainstream media ignores the Fair Tax, they don’t want to mention it because average people will hear about it, like it and starting asking why their Congressman and Senators aren’t voting for it.
Every time a Republican Congressperson makes a media appearance they should promote the Fair Tax. Even if the media apparatchiks want to talk about Iraq or baseball players using steroids the Republicans should talk Fair Tax, Fair Tax, Fair Tax. The message should be the Fair Tax and nothing else.
Average viewers would start asking what is this Fair Tax thing? Why are the liberal elitists so afraid of it and unwilling to talk about it? Many people would conclude if these assholes hate the Fair Tax it must be a great thing.
On the Republican campaign trail, every Republican Congressional candidate should commit to the Fair Tax and campaign on that issue. The GOP should buy advertising in as many Congressional districts as possible to promote the Fair Tax. On a grassroots level Republican activists should show up at every public appearance by every campaign Democratic candidate and ask them about the Fair Tax. Ask why they’re against it and what their alternative is.
Imagine how Democrats will react when the Republican tells a working class audience vote for me and I’ll let you keep all of your paychecks. The Democrat will have to tell them why it is a good thing to turn a large percentage of their hard earned income over to the government.
The result of this is that the differences between Democrats and Republicans will be highlighted. Democrats will be exposed once again as the party of tax and spend and the status quo. Republicans as the party of radical change and true reform.
The present tax system is so corrupt and unfair nobody could defend it and any politician who tried to defend would destroy their career. The Democrats would hurt themselves greatly if they had to defend the income tax on the campaign trail.
A GOP dedicated to the Fair Tax would win handsomely, instead of struggling to retain congressional control Republicans would win decisive majorities in both houses. Fair Tax Republicans would win landslide victories in many contested races and I’m sure a lot of pro income tax Democrats would be defeated. Even many far left stalwarts in supposedly safe blue states would be thrashed by no name opponents who ran on the Fair Tax platform.
The media and the Democrats’ refusal to acknowledge the Fair Tax’s existence proves they’re scared of the issue. The question we have to ask is why aren’t the Republicans taking advantage of the Fair Tax?
