During Bush's two terms there were tax protests and FairTax representatives doing the same thing that are being done this April 15th. There are many more people now on board with this. That's why you're hearing more about it now. It is growing! This is not a partisan issue. One of the benefits of obtaining federal funding via the FairTax is that it removes most if not all opportunities for political powers to manipulate the current (ever changing Income tax) and allows we the people more power in when and how much tax each of us actually pays - based on our spending on NEW goods and services. It taxes visitors to our country and people who earn money illegally (who currently do not contribute to our federal tax system). <br> <br> This is not a new issue being brought forward because President Obama is now in office. The FairTax is over 25 years old. It was not created to benefit Republicans. It is for the benefit and empowerment of ALL Americans. Please try to review this with an open mind - you may be surprised if you just fairly weigh out the pros and cons without the political party predjudice.
