Thank you for visiting my Eliminate
Income Tax website.
This site was set up because I believe the federal income taxes
are too complicated and too unfair. |
We do need tax revenue,
and I would like our legislators to replace the current Federal
Income Tax with a National Sales Tax. |
FYI, my lovely wife and I have been filing and paying federal income
taxes on time for over 25 years (unlike some government officials).
We're honest, hard-working people. |

Here are some reasons why we
should eliminate the
federal income tax: |
|
1.
|
Politicians have been
talking for years about simplifying taxes. Our tax code is
currently over 66,000 pages! Why is it so complicated?
Eliminating the income tax will surely simplify our taxes! |
|
2.
|
We can actually shrink
the size and role of government. We could eliminate much of
the IRS, sell their buildings, computers, etc. |
|
3.
|
No more federal income
tax forms to fill out. No more record keeping. We would
save lots and lots of time, as well as a whole lot of paper and
trees! |
|
4.
|
Let the states collect
the new National Sales Tax. Most states already collect a
sales tax. Adding a National Sales Tax would require very
little overhead to initiate. |
|
5.
|
Drug dealers /
criminals are dealing in cash and avoiding income taxes. With
a National Sales Tax, they will be paying taxes on things like
automobiles and on small-ticket items too! |
|
6.
|
A flat consumption tax is
the fairest of all taxes. People would be taxed based on a
fixed percentage of what they spend -- not what they earn. |
|
7.
|
This will provide
people with an incentive to earn MORE money. The current
system tax system is a progressive tax -- for the most part, people are taxed more when
they earn more. |
|
8.
|
Our current tax
system is flawed. There are loopholes, like the Earned Income
Credit (EIC). Look at
my example of how people can get a tax
refund when they do not pay any taxes, whatsoever. |
|

If we stop collecting
and paying Federal Income Taxes, taxpayers will not only have more
time and less stress, they will also have a lot more money to spend.
This will be great for our economy. |
