MI FairTax- NO MORE "govt hands in our pocket." They get theirs when WE DECIDE to buy NEW (not Used) for our family. NO MORE income tax returns, audits, interest OR penalites! JOIN the effort!
The Michigan legislature not long ago enacted the Michigan Business Tax [MBT] as a response to public pressure to end the Single Business Tax [SBT] (a gross receipts tax, taken before expenses). Trouble is, the MBT still remains a gross receipts tax - and Michigan is sinking - daily !
" Let's pay taxes when we SPEND our money, not when we EARN it ! "
Our goal is to do REPLACE the income tax system in Michigan. Concerned citizens in Michigan have been learning about a fairer, progressive consumption tax plan known as the Michigan FairTax. In order to give Michigan voters the power to choose, we are underway with a campaign to place the Michigan FairTax on the 2010 general election ballot.
The Michigan FairTax will both simplify, and stimulate, Michigan's business / jobs climate in a dramatic and ongoing basis. It will replace the income tax and current sales tax, with a consumption tax (sales tax at point of retail sale) while un-taxing all purchases up to poverty level. This means that no more withholding of state tax from Michigan wage-earners' paychecks. What's more, every Michigan resident-family will receive a monthly "prebate" check, in amount based on family size. This will ensure that NO Michigan family will EVEN BEGIN paying the MI FairTax on goods / services unless, or until, they exceed poverty-level spending. Eliminating inefficiency. No more business income tax costs in consumer prices.
Under a FairTax system, points of collection will be dramatically reduced (from millions of individuals to considerably fewer retailers, many of whom are already collecting sales tax). Michigan wage-earners will no longer experience income tax collectors adding interest and penalties to tax bills they only found out about after their return was prepared (and PAID for) at the end of the year. With a Michigan FairTax, income tax returns, audits, interest and penalites vanish.
Because service providers, under the current system, must account for income tax withholding and compliance costs, Michigan consumers pay a hidden tax in higher prices which will become visible under the MI FairTax. (The MI FairTax EXCLUDES business-to-business purchases as this would, again, hide the cost of taxation in prices.)

Protects basic necessities. No more tax shelters for big spenders.
Because of the monthly "prebate" check (calculated as .0975 x $ [ poverty level per family size] ) to ALL Michigan-resident households, the MI FairTax rate would effectively be 0% on all monthly family spending up to the monthly poverty level, thereafter it's 9.75%. A reasonable average effective rate, inferred, would be about 5.5% (that's without putting anything away!) Monies placed into savings are not available to spend, and therefore would reduce a family's effective tax rate.What's more, interest earned on savings would no longer be taxed. Accumulating capital for desired goods is easier under FairTax. Further, "higher tax brackets" vanish under MI FairTax. So, go ahead. Work overtime! It's yours. The state only gets paid, when YOU DECIDE to go shopping!
Less credit cards, more savings!
Under MI FairTax, banks will rely less on credit card payments ("getting blood" from paychecks that are already compromised by income tax withholding) because with more disposable income, families will save more. Bankers will have greater deposits to loan - at lower interest rates - to a healthier economy of more businesses employing more people.
MI FairTax turns the current debt-driven financial system (benefitting those who lend) to a savings-driven system (benefitting those who save).
" Act. Right now - ' light your candle ' ! "

Made popular by the federal FairTax bill (H.R. 25, which was either co-sponsored or otherwise endorsed by several 2008 presidential candidates), this approach to taxation reaches across the political spectrum
| Mike Gravel (D), "If the rich like the FairTax, why aren't they contributing to my campaign?" | Mike Huckabee (R), "FairTax most important way to transform economy." | Ron Paul (Libertarian R), "Though not a co-sponsor of FairTax bill, I'd vote for it." |
Dr. Laurence Kotlikoff believes that it will take the FairTax to reverse unfunded U.S. gov't obligations, about $53 $88 trillion and counting !!
The income tax scheme was enacted the same year as the Federal Reserve. The intended purpose was to ensure that "the banksters" would get their interest payments. A more efficient mechanism was introduced when Economist Milton Friedman (of all people!) suggested that income tax be withheld in 1943 (only for the duration of WWII). The politicians would NEVER let go of this. They get theirs FIRST. When I learned that Minister Farrakhan was educating his followers as to the history of the Federal Reserve and the income tax, I garnered new found respect for him:
We'll admit that Minister Farrakhan is a controversial figure. But, how about the former Chief Economist of the International Monetary Fund? He is calling the Federal Reserve owners (though indirectly) by their actual status titles: OLIGARCHS! Here he discusses his doubts as to the U.S. Treasury Secretary's ability to move against their control:
| Bill Moyers' asks Simon Johnson, "Can Treasury Sec. Geitner break from the monied elites?" | Johnson (former Chief Economist at the International Monetary Fund) replies, "I'm worried." |

Obama: ‘Muslims are a Fundamental Part of the American Family’
The United States is not at war with Islam as some extremists claim to justify their violence against the West, President Barack Obama said.
Obama, speaking at the U.S. Defense Department’s National Defense University in Washington, referred to various terrorism threats and how some are fueled by extremists saying Islam is in conflict with the West.
“Most, though not all, of the terrorism we faced is fueled by a common ideology — a belief by some extremists that Islam is in conflict with the [...]
Sweden Burns for the Fifth Straight Night
In Rinkeby a predominantly immigrant district in northern Stockholm, firefighters rushed to put out flames that engulfed six cars parked alongside each other. Five cars were totally gutted, and one sustained more moderate damage, according to an AFP photographer on the scene.
The continued vandalism left local residents irate, with hundreds gathering at the scene to express their frustration.
“People are furious; they think Rinkeby is better than this,” Scanpix photographer Fredrik Sandberg told the TT news agency from the scene.
Three more cars were [...]
