Did you realize the IRS code consist of over 67000 pages and continues to grow as -- what are the American taxpayers but a staggering six billion hours a year attempting to comply with the IRS. These were careless mistakes they were avoidable mistakes but they were completely unintentional but the guy in charge of the Treasury Department can't figure out how -- heck are we supposed to.

Yeah after is hope -- the fair tax act now let's listen to vote that will not be ignored join me and I guarantee your vote will count stop letting appeared ERS vote today."

" We welcome Joe did the program so you're fighting for the abolition of the IRS I'm guessing that it's not been too difficult for -- to find support for that -- On on American people are ready for something new and you know I've built a platform -- vote dot com that's -- the American people actually speak up become their -- lobbyists all these polls that are out there. -- always shareholder voting for this they're going -- that god never been polled had never been asked and here's an opportunity for every American actually to sit there and talk about. What they want to do they can vote now like -- vote that come get out there and have their voices heard for the fair tax act. You know I've never been -- the for the Nielsen ratings -- artifact thought he had -- I going to make a complaint they got a seven had to do that but I've heard of the black tax our buddy. Governor Huckabee has proposed that of course. Steve Forbes editor for him what's the what's the difference. The fair tax eliminates all taxes the other somewhere withholding taxes for your paycheck you get 100% of your paycheck. The only time you pay taxes when you -- news good that the retail stores. Yes services -- so forth to set 23% rates and what that's going to do by American people hold onto their whole paycheck. Actually going to be able to afford their mortgages they won't have to this -- there and have bailouts and more not as much and they're still not be some things left out there. But they're going to get their whole paycheck they -- attacks at a press register now doing that get rid of corporate taxes this is a beautiful thing. That person did a study couple years ago. They have so we're 500 companies nationwide have left America if America pass the fair tax act over 80% -- so they would move their major headquarters here to America or major subsidiary. To America and that -- that creates millions of jobs right there -- that let Palin out there and again I love by the simplicity -- it. But here's the problem yet Warren Buffett. And the guy make in you know hundred bucks a week paying the same 23%. If that sit at the point of purchase -- is that. Well actually that's the beautiful thing about it Warren -- mention them. -- last year sometime you know one of which has been on the world southern complain the fact that he actually pays less taxes and a secretary did. Now that being said what the fair tax that wouldn't happen anymore they'll get American government actually sends -- rebate check to every American. You know husband and wife for single of up to 250 dollars little bit more a little bit less depending on how many people -- on the family. And the first 28000 dollars in those numbers are just read about accurate 20000 dollars it's not taxed I noticed that you kind of rough -- that Tim Geithner they are you are add. And and I notice also Joe that. They're they're saying the utes have you stop paying your income tax are you now -- tax protestor. I no no no no on on the obvious you know the only -- about you're not making the IRS angry. Now you follow the laws that are in place -- not I'm not sit here advocating that the pay your taxes not to pay anything like that by no means. I'm saying that we as American people are in charge of the government we gotta remember that and we can make the changes so that's what I'm advocating this is that chance for people to go the -- com. To actually have their voices heard and say listen you know you guys -- Washington you're not doing the job. We the American people going to stand up and make this happen so as far as Geithner goes -- actually I'm not bad try to rip on Geithner as the simple fact that he didn't understand it. What makes the -- it is so it's pretty hard if he can't understand guys -- Treasury Department. That the and they were average American person there's going to be able to understand it as well. The fair tax a simple. Simple process to do that -- and April 15 becomes another day. Another day and have fun on not on tax day thanks for coming on I admire your activism might -- the fact that.
