I will address the tax situation rebate in a few, but first wanted to make a statement about Newsbusters as I have been reading about the mean attacks on here by some people and those who come on here to "bust" Newsbusters in their own minds.

Here am I not in the least affiliated with this site except blogging, so with that disclaimer, I would like people to consider how important Newsbusters is and that it is an island in a sea of malevolent rants and profanity AND SHOULD BE APPRECIATED AND NURTURED BY ALL.
I do not know if people consider all the work Mr. Sheffield does on this site. How much effort it takes in Mr. Sheppard, Mr. Huston, Mr. Shepherd, Mr. Finkelstein, Mr. Poor etc.... to take time out daily from their other work and entertain people here. It takes great amounts of God given insight to find stories and then to tell people the flaws in them.
Newsbusters is not in need of anarchists pulling it down and nitpicking perceived fleas off of it's universe of thought compared to the universe of lies which liberals deliberately manipulate daily.

Newsbusters takes great care in being right. It takes great care in crafting poll questions with God's insight to specifically make people think and expose their thinking sometimes to just how much the MSM sways what they do think if even if they are Conservative or Libertarian.
I personally want to thank Newsbusters for putting up with me and my posts which are designed to move people to think out of the box of thought beyond what Mr. Limbaugh does on radio, Mr. O'Reilly does on television and the American Spectator, Peggy Noonan and the WSJ does in print. Most of us have listened to Rush Limbaugh and knows he hints at things he has heard, but can not say. I usually post the most feasable and logical deductions for people to understand what is going on behind the scenes as nothing just happens in the media and it is well crafted out of think tanks meant to move the masses in a 2 war front to accept the Caesar who is chosen.

I would like people to consider how patient Mr. Sheppard is in teaching. How wonderfully subtle and adept Mr. Sheffield is. How cutting edge Mr. Shepherd is and how Mr. Huston is probably the hardest hitting commentator in media. I do not mean to leave any favorite out as each person here is a wonderful mix that makes this site the best in the world. Literally and thoughtfully.

It should not be anyone's intention to be banned. I have been banned from 2 sites for simply posting fact. It is not enjoyable nor something which should be sought out, but liberals and quasi conservative sites are not interested in free discussion where everyone rises to the discussion. Newsbusters expects that from all people here in civil discourse and this is the reflection of the people here.

So a thank you once and awhile to the people here would be fitting and a measure of understanding that this site has to be protected and nurtured by all, because if we loose this site..........well playing on Kos or HuffPo is the alternative and they do not want comments but rants.......and that is not what the bloggers here are about.

Enough of that.

Rebates do nothing, but are designed by those politicians printing and then giving this money away in more debt.......knowing it will be spent in frill areas or fuel areas that will only help cartel members.......makes this always a spike in the economy sham.

Unless money is funnelled into areas which cause production and increased value, it is wasted money and increased debt.
This is why I state the global warming billions should be taken and put into disaster shelters. This would increase homeowners wealth. Increase production of American made products and provide a 5 year boom all Americans would benefit from along with security form hurricanes and communist nukes.

The investment of these billions would increase money flow and supply and thereby increase taxes taken in. It is a win win for the government and Americans.

For all the money these rebates always say is coming. I have never gotten one in my life nor has anyone I know ever got a dollar. This money goes to specific groupings who spend it specifically as intended. Old people, poor people, farmers, self employed people rarely ever see this money and they are usually Conservatives.

America can not keep printing money to plug holes made from printing money America does not have. Shifting our debt from Saudi and Chicom bonds into buying Citibank is a horrid structure the Japanese implosion proved when it was done 20 years ago.

Who in this world wants over 1 billion angry Chicoms having a depression like Japan went through. That is what is being set up and it will mean war as the communists will not allow a revolution, but will march those angry mobs into the west for a war or dump them into the ocean in a failed invasion of America.

While people discuss billions in bandaide fixes, this nation requires economists to rise up to FIX THIS PERMANENTLY by defeating the Rockefeller and Rothschild cartels whose entire purpose is to fragment America in politics to install one of their own, stress people out so much they will accept a united North America........now being championed to be UNITED WITH EUROPE as a union. That means one dictator telling all the sheep how to bleat before they are slaughtered.
Into this is that communist shill nation raper, George Soros now demanding that leadership status be turned over to China and "developing" nations from America..........his soulless purpose like that thug Warren Buffet is to put the flow of power into nations which have dictators and loads of slave labor so they can exploit the Romanian gold etc... and reap bigger profits.

Until the big picture is brought into view and the Rockefellers who push this garbage with their various changlings they put into power so they start squirming, this nation is being set up for fragmented GOP and DNC parties where a Chavez style leader will swoop in and sweep away the competition just like Putin does in Russia.

Look at how excited people are to be getting 500 bucks in a rebate. Just wait until comrade Gore and Bloomberg with Pelosi and Reid backing start handing out paychecks to the millions of immigrants and poor people out of industry coffers...........SOUND FAMILIAR IN FORD BUYING OUT IT'S SKILLED AMERICAN WORKERS AND PLACING UNSKILLED (immigrant) WORKERS IN THEIR PLACES?

This all has to be discussed here as what is discussed here is going to make Limbaugh, O'Reilly and Drudge feature it.......and then the MSM is going to have to start addressing it as it squirms........and then the Rockefeller cartels are going to have to shift and delay what they are pulling.

By God's grace perhaps another Ronald Reagan, this time smarter in putting in safegaurds for free trade so economic rapists like Soros can not come in and bankrupt Brazil, Venezuela and Argentina and turn them into communist socialist regimes backing Putin and Islamocommunists against what is left of America.
None of this is an attack on the GOP, Conservatives nor this site, but we as a people have got to get the big picture and start informing people so this nation understands.

Economic policy is not printing money and more money and giving it away. That is communism.

Economic policy is making a deregulated environment where the small business people create wealth out of nothing, increase the money supply with the creation of products with their hands and people investing and saving TO PROVIDE FOR THEMSELVES.

That is what Adam Smith, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Milton Friedman and Ronald Reagan implemented and America prospered.
The Baltic states are implementing American economics and growing at 6 plus percent, poor people are not paying taxes and their states are out of debt.

America requires such a leader now or at least a leader who will employ someone in their cabinet to run this engine as it should who knows economics.

Thank you

I thought I missed something...like friends harrassing and humiliating them until they couldn't take it any more.

Where was a noose displayed?

Also, don't forget local taxes paid can be deducted from the income tax, up to a point. The fair tax will kill that.

Exactly, as there will be no more federal income tax. Nor will there be the hideos cost of compliance on the part of individuals and corporations. These costs are killing this country economically. Perhaps you think this country is creating enough jobs under the current system?

Right now, it's big news if the government is gonna raise your income
tax. People think "tea party" pretty quickly. But with a sales tax, you
could raise it a penny or so (on the dollar) every year or two, and no
one would even notice. Or you could get bold and raise it 4 or 5 cents
at a time.

Nonsense. Government hikes taxes (and fees) all the time, and most people haven't a clue they are doing it. I call them sneak-a-taxes. Actually, most people in this country have no clue what they are currently paying in federal income taxes. If they did, the "tea party" you refer to would have happened a long time ago. If you tried to raise the Fair Tax rate, even a little, everybody is going to know about it the very next time they make a purchase.

Of course it goes without saying that it would take two Constitutional
Amendments. One repealing the 16th and a new one instating the sales
tax. Good luck with that.

I do not know where you get that from, as it is not true. It would only require the repeal of the current 16th Amendment.

Right now we have millions of people: Illegals, welfare recipients, and
just plain old folk who work a second job off the books. All of these
people, and more, pay no income tax on that money, because they get
paid in cash.

That is true. And guess who it is that is currently making up the difference for them? You and me are, that is who. Perhaps you like having the government forcing you to continue paying their taxes. Apparently you do not mind paying them. I do.

We currently have an underground economy. We will probably have one if the Fair Tax is implemented. What will be different will be that the federal taxes thaey are not paying and that we are currently having to make up for, will be paid by them at the cash register when they make their next purchase.

As for illegal aliens, all you have to do is start prosecuting employers who hire them, and the illegals will start to leave. It is just that simple.

Just permanently lower income taxes. Make sure we have the lowest
corporate taxes in the world, not the highest. And simplify the tax
code to where an individual with normal deductions only needs one form
to fill out, and the entire instructs are on a few pages, rather than a
book that rivals War and Peace!

Under the Fair Tax, there are no forms to fill out. Ever. No IRS to deal with. Nor is there any more snooping into our personal finances by the federal governement. No more progressively punishing productive Americans. Perhaps you prefer to continue to allow the government to punish productivity. I do not.

The only losers under the Fair Tax plan are people who wish to maintain the status-quo and would rather see businesses, both large and small, continuing spending hundreds of billions of dollars each year to comply with an out-of-date, economy-killing tax code, instead of spending that money expanding their businesses and creating jobs.
