Let's Talk Taxes: There is NO FAIR TAX Plan

Now, we all know that the Republicans have promised smaller government and anyone with any sense knows that won't happen. If we truly ever achieve smaller government, there will be fewer politicians in power, so why, with all the perks of being a politician, would any politician ever actually downsize government? They'd have to get real jobs and earn an honest living . . . What are the odds of that happening? And we do know by now, that democrats like programs, and with more programs, come more taxes. At least they are upfront about their plans. I don't recall ever hearing a democrat promise to reduce government. For a country that is supposed to be based upon Biblical principles, let me share the primary governments mentioned in Scripture that dealt with their subjects through taxation. There was Pharaoh in Egypt and Caesar in Rome, hardly the "good guys" of the Bible! I heard George Noory interview a former IRS auditor that clearly stated the Federal Tax laws are not in the constitution and the way the IRS operates is directly opposed to the tax laws set forth in the US Constitution. She also explained that the various taxes that get placed upon the people are the ones that are actually covering expenses, like road taxes on the gasoline and sales tax on merchandise and tax, tax, tax. Which got me really thinking about this "fair tax" plan. Right now, there is no official federal tax plan for the citizens of the United States. The problem that many people face with the IRS, is having voluntarily signed the form to agree to the regulations, then either not abiding by the many, many regs, or not understanding the regs in completing and signing the form. If the politicians can get the people to VOTE the fair tax in, before the people realize the present federal taxation isn't even legal, then there will be an official federal tax plan. The big push for the Fair Tax plan is not to reduce government, and not to make things better for the people, it's to legitimize what the feds have been doing to "we the people" for lo these many years.
And it shall come to pass in the increase, that ye shall give the fifth part unto Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own . . . Torah of Holy Scripture
