Joe the Plumber endorses the Fair Tax
Posted by zbigniewmazurak on April 9, 2009
On April 7th, 2009, Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher, also known as “Joe the Plumber”, has endorsed the Fair Tax – a flat sales tax that is supposed to replace all current federal taxes – and has begun his own crusade against the IRS. [1] [2] [3]
Joe wants to have his own business, but if he registers it as a firm, that firm will have to pay a 35% CIT. If he will register it under his own name, and pay taxes from his own personal income, he will pay a 35% PIT. Then there would be payroll taxes. He would also have to read the 66,000-page Internal Revenue Code. Such a tax burden chokes enterprises and disincentivizes profit-makers. It seriously harms the US economy. If Joe needs help with filing his tax return, he must hire a tax consultant. But few tax law experts can actually do that job for him – even the Secretary of the Treasury cannot complete a federal tax return.

The Fair Tax is an absolutely necessary instrument of enabling Joe’s business to prosper permanently. He would also be freed from the duty of filing tax returns at all, and from the intrusive IRS, which has more prerogatives than the CIA and the FBI. Former presidential candidates Mike Huckabee, Fred Thompson, Duncan Hunter and Tom Tancredo support it – as do the two Georgian Senators, two other Senators and 52 Representatives, including John Linder, the sponsor of the Fair Tax Act, myself, and the CWA Director, Michael Illions. CWA is the most popular, most frequently read, political blog in New Jersey.
Thank you, Joe, for your endorsement of the Fair Tax.
