The Fair Tax is Awesome

I don't have a snazzy title today, because the Fair Tax is awesome... so that says it all.

Hopefully you're reading, or have already read, Fair Tax: The Truth by Neal Boortz and John Linder. I say that because the Fair Tax is a grassroots movement. CNN isn't going to advocate it, and you're not going to see a truthful or thoughtful article about it on the cover of your morning Times. So it's up to all of us to pick up the book, learn about it, get excited about it (because you can't learn the truth about it without getting excited about it unless you're a lobbyist or someone else with a financial stake in the current tax code), and get out there and let other people know how awesome it is.

I'm not going to go into all the reasons why it's awesome in this post, but I am posting a video that will hopefully pique your interest. I'm also giving you the link to the Tax Foundation's website, where you'll find all kinds of cool stuff that will make your jaw drop (at the stupidity of our current tax system).

Popular suffrage is in itself no guarantee of freedom. People can vote themselves into slavery.

Neal Boortz had some very interesting information about the costs of illegal immigration on his website yesterday, so because I'm pressed for time today I'm going to share it here too. It's also informative and all around good stuff (scary stuff) to know.

1) $11 Billion to $22 billion is spent on welfare to illegal aliens each year. http://tinyurl.com/zob77

2) $1.9 Billion dollars a year is spent on food assistance programs such as food stamps, WIC, and free school lunches for illegal aliens. http://www.cis.org/articles/2004/fiscalexec.html

3) $2.5 Billion dollars a year is spent on Medicaid for illegal aliens. http://www.cis.org/articles/200/fiscalexec.html

4) $12 Billion dollars a year is spent on primary and secondary school education for children here illegally and they cannot speak a word of English! http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html

5) $17 Billion dollars a year is spent for education for the American-born children of illegal aliens, known as anchor babies.http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html

6) $3 Million Dollars a DAY is spent to incarcerate illegal aliens.http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html

7) 30% percent of all Federal Prison inmates are illegal aliens.http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html

8) $90 Billion Dollars a year is spent on illegal aliens for Welfare and Social Services by the American taxpayers.http://premium.cnn.com/TRANSCIPTS/0610/29/ldt.01.html (Link not active ... was not able to verify this information)

9) $200 Billion Dollars a year in suppressed American wages are caused by the illegal aliens.http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html

10) The illegal aliens in the United States have a crime rate that's two-and-a-half times that of white non-illegal aliens. In particular, their children, are going to make a huge additional crime problem in the US. http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0606/12/ldt.01.html

11) During the year of 2005 there were 4 to 10 MILLION illegal aliens that crossed our Southern Border also, as many as 19,500 illegal aliens from Terrorist Countries. Millions of pounds of drugs, cocaine, meth, heroin and marijuana, crossed into the U. S from the Southern border. Homeland Security Report. http://tinyurl.com/t9sht

12) The National Policy Institute, estimated that the total cost of mass deportation would be between $206 and $230 billion or an average cost of between $41 and $46 billion annually over a five year period. http://www.nationalpolicyinstitute.org/pdf/deportation.pdf

13) In 2006 illegal aliens sent home $45 BILLION in remittances back to their countries of origin. http://www.rense.com/general75/niht.htm

14) 'The Dark Side of Illegal Immigration: Nearly One Million Sex Crimes Committed by Illegal Immigrants In The United States. http://www.drdsk.com/articles.html#Illegals

Total cost is a whopping... $338 BILLION A YEAR!!!

Incredible. Or should I say incredibile? Either way, something's very wrong with this picture.

The title of today's post is a quote by Frank Chodorov.

P.S. In case this piqued your interest, Boortz's website has very interesting news every day- stuff that you don't see on CNN.
