"SURFING & POSTING IS NOT THE SAME AS TAKING ACTION."
If
we want to bring about reform of our tax system to help assist the
beleaguered working-poor and middle-class, create a fair system of taxes, improve the
economy, and strengthen the nation:
Firstly, we need to educate our fellow citizens directly and
by
encouraging press coverage to produce a large grassroots group of
advocates.
Secondly, we need to have those advocates
press policy makers and
lawmakers to reform our tax laws.
This
page provides suggestions, tools, and information to do both.
I CONSTANTLY SEND COPIES OF THE WEBSITE SUMMARY OUT TO FRIENDS, NEWS OUTLETS, PUNDITS, AND POLICY MAKERS.

Billionaire
Warren Buffet pays 11% total taxes (fed,state,local,corp) on $8billion
investment gains. A minimum-wage worker pays 37% total taxes on a
$14,500 annual salary. Unfair. Destroying our economy and democracy. This is all
covered at http://fairsharetaxes.org See site for a really fair,
economy-fixing, nation-saving proposal, that would save each
middle-class household thousands and slash the deficit.
