Reasons we should switch to the Fair/Flat tax? Note - to Liberals you don't read what I say read the facts tell me in a economic approach were this tax hurts the poor if they are paying 30% less in healthcare 30% less in food prices and 8% less in everything else it helps the rich but it helps the poor to and is way better than our current tax plan here is my argument---- People say that it will hike tax's for the poor, it wont it will be easyer for the poor they will still receive tax returns.. We pay the second highest corporate tax next to Japan 30% of a product is tax , a 22% sales tax would lower prices on everything The Tea Act-When the British stopped taxing the merchants and taxed the tea witch drove prices super low (The Americans got pissed since they were being taxed without representation) but its a truth of economics over 70% of economists approve it, It will increase exports since foreighn country's wouldn't have to pay our sales tax (I also forgot doesn't tax food food prices will go down and it wont tax health care health care will go down) All you people that do not support it start If you disagree give me a reason I'm wrong I would like to see it! My cousin the economists Thoughts on it (word for word) Sounds like a plan! Bet it would reduce the tax code from over 1.1 million words to 139 pages. Explainable on one 3x5 card. So Transparent! Would bring $11 trillion dollars home in offshore savings accounts. Would make our products really competitive on the world market. Everybody would pay, the rich pay more than the poor, and even our visitors would contribute! We reduce the number of tax collection points from 100 million to just over 50 (states, the district, and territories) We get a 20-30% boost in collectable taxes and fully fund the Federal Budget, Social Security, and Medicare. We greatly reduce the IRS budget of $10 billion! And NEVER fear them again! (I have been audited - be afraid - BE VERY AFRAID!) Make April 15th just another spring day! I think you are right on the MONEY! All the Best

you can tell me is it true? MR TUNDE WILLIAMS ACCOUNT OFFICIAL OF INTER-CONTINENTAL BANK PLC P.H: 234-1-723-6792 Hello Nguyen, With due respect, trust and humility, I write you this proposal believing that it will receive the most desired attention from you even as we have not had any previous correspondence, Although, I am constrained by insufficient information about you, but I will express in full the main objectives of this proposal. My name is Mr.Tunde Williams I work in the credit and accounts department of Inter-continental Bank of Nigeria Plc,Lagos, Nigeria. I write you in respect of a foreign customer with our bank, before his sudden death. His name is Mr.Alam A. Nguyen, He was among those who died in a plane crash here in Nigeria in the year 2002 May 4th. Sir,since the demise of this our customer, Mr.Alam A. Nguyen, who was an oil Merchant/contractor, I have kept a close watch of the deposit records and accounts and since then no body has come to claim the money in this a/c as next of kin to the late Engineer He had only $9.5mllion in his a/c and the a/c is coded. It is only an insider that could produce the code or password of the Deposit particulars. As it stands now, there is nobody in that position to produce the needed information other than my very self considering my position in the bank as his account officer.Based on the reason that nobody has come forward to claim the deposit as next of kin,I hereby ask for your cooperation in using your name as the next of kin to the deceased to send these funds out to a foreign offshore bank a/c for mutual sharing between myself and you. At this point I am the only one with the information because I have removed the deposit file from the safe. By this doing, what is required of you is to send an application laying claims of the deposit as next of kin to the deceased officially to the director of our bank., I am asking for your assistant to release the money to you as his relation/next of kin for safekeeping and subsequent disbursement. I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive but I am assuring you of the security of us all as modalitieshave been perfected for a swift and smooth operation. You are being contacted because you share the same name with the deceased. Since nobody showed up for his money and I don't want it to go back into Federal Government account as unclaimed bill when the next audit is conducted. The banking law and guideline here stipulates that such money if remain unclaimed, will be transferred into banking treasury as unclaimed effect. The request of a foreigner to act as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Nigerian cannot stand asnext of kin to a foreigner. You are most qualified in this transaction as you share the same name with the deceased. I am ready to negotiate the mode of sharing with you. I will visit your country for the disbursement/investing of my share according to the percentages we shall agree upon after the successful transfer of the money to your account. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is 100% hitch-free and that there is absolutely no risk in it, having concluded the modalities for a smooth operation and my position in the bank guarantees its successful execution. All I require is your honest co-operation, a guarantee of your sincerity and capability to enable us conclude this deal. Note however that the sensitive nature of this transaction demands that you have to keep it absolutely confidential. I will need your full name and address,telephone and fax number for the processing of the transfer in your name and favour. Finally i want you to understand that the request for a foreigneras the next of kin is Occassioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and for that reason alone a Nigerian cannot represent as next of kin. When you contact me,then we shall discuss on how the money will be split between us. Trusting to hear from you, I remain Respectfully yours
