July Campaign: Support the American Taxpayers' Bill of Rights
| Name | City | Date | Comments | | Jennifer Foster | Denison, IA | July 4, 2008 | Scrap the Code. It is impossible. No more taxing a man or woman on their labor. Consumption tax is the way to go. Its simple and fair and make it a set percentage that is the same in every state. | | Jennifer Foster | Denison, IA | July 4, 2008 | Scrap the Code. It is impossible. No more taxing a man or woman on their labor. Consumption tax is the way to go. Its simple and fair and make it a set percentage that is the same in every state. | | Laurie Wagner | Heavener, OK | June 30, 2008 | The current tax code is a mess which takes too much of our money to maintain. Scrap the code and adopt the flat tax!! | | Miriam J. Crawford | Redlands, CA | June 29, 2008 | x | | jay wilson | south pasadena, CA | June 26, 2008 | It is time to step up and do what is right for this country.
We need to adopt a flat tax for everyone it is the only fair thing to do. Please make sure that you act in the best interest of America. You owe us your dedication to solve out tax problems and flat tax does it. | | Bob Vestal | St. Cloud, FL | June 26, 2008 | I believe in simplicity. The less mechanical movement, the less wear & tear. Government spending is out of control. Our economy seems to be slipping. I think that if everyone paid a set tax on consumption, then the poor would get along much better and the rich would pay more because they can afford to. This means that if you can afford a million dollar home then you can also afford the tax. No tax on food & medical supplies. | | Jonathan Mascio | Yulee, FL | June 25, 2008 | x | | Richard Durkee | Port Orange, FL | June 24, 2008 | I hate to sound crass, but it's time for America to help and take care of Americans! | | Susan Stubin | Passaic, NJ | June 23, 2008 | Our country's founders envisioned a country with as little government as possible; an environment where the concept of "laissez-faire". The current system punishes wealth, frustrates everyone with its' complicated red tape, and limits the amount of disposable income people should have for contributing to the welfare of those in need. A flat tax would even the playing field and enhance our economy. | | Eric Hall | Raleigh, NC | June 22, 2008 | Hi, my name is Eric Hall and I have a big problem, my taxes are hard and confusing, there is no representation in many of the ways my taxes are used for me personally. I can not not pay for things I don't use and furthermore I cannot opt to have more of my tax pay for things I do use. I don't work so lazy people can find a way to qualify for and stay on welfare and the countless other programs I would like to take advantage of but can't because I am caught in the limbo of not making enough while making too much. PLEASE HELP ME because a whole lot of ME is what makes ALL of America. | | Jim Sianis | Greensboto, NC | June 19, 2008 | While I wholeheartedly believe that taxing a persons income is immoral and tantamount to slavery, having a flat tax would be a step in the right direction of eventually repealing the unconstitutional 16th Amendment | | Charles Hall | Richmond, VA | June 19, 2008 | Everyone should pay the same amount of tax and the government figures out how to spend what they got instead of using the American public as there personal American Express accounts. It's pretty simple isn't it. | | Jason Korkus | Chicago, IL | June 19, 2008 | We have to "go back to the basics." Please Simplify our tax code to a flat tax. Thank you, | | Gene Heath | barnstead, NH | June 18, 2008 | x | | Giovanni Ingegneri | Philadelphia, PA | June 18, 2008 | Stop siphoning off our hard earned money. The government is inefficient and wasteful. The individual knows best how to utilize their own money. Let the markets and private charities distribute the necessary resources and wealth that our economy desperately needs. | | Deborah Boone | Canton, NC | June 18, 2008 | x | | dennis wright | grover beach, CA | June 17, 2008 | A flat tax is the only sensible solution for TAXPAYERS. Unfortunately, It would then MAKE our legislators come up with viable solutions without continually counting on tax increases. | | Eric-John Davis | Shirley, MA | June 16, 2008 | x | | Charles Benzo | Canton, OH | June 14, 2008 | The government, from national to local, needs to stop wasting our hard-earned money. | | teresa smarsh | monument, CO | June 13, 2008 | Income Tax Reform! | | ROBERT CUNNINGHAM | SAN ANTONIO, TX | June 12, 2008 | IF YOU WANT TO WIN - GO TO A FLAT TAX - THE FIRST 30000 IS TAX FREE - FAIR FOR ALL- ALSO CAN TAX ALL WORKERS THAT ARE WORKING IN THIS COUNTRY - LEGAL OR ILLEGAL WORKERS | | Joel Wahrhaftig | Chalfont, PA | June 11, 2008 | x | | James Swigart | pittsfield, MA | June 11, 2008 | It's time to DO something rather than just talk about how bad things are. You represent US... we want this... make it happen. | | Casey Wells | San Antonio, TX | June 10, 2008 | As it stands currently, millionaires like Warren Buffet who made a self reported 45 million last year, only paid 17% (a lower percent than his secretary). It's time to fix the system. | | David Patterson | El Paso, TX | June 10, 2008 | x | | charles bickel | fairfax, VA | June 9, 2008 | lets make tax equal for all. | | George Chace | Dennis, MA | June 9, 2008 | Our present tax caode is unfair and rediculously complex.
We need to implement the flat tax and get rid of the arbitrary loop hole quagmire we currently have. Theere is no honest objection to a flat tax. The more you make the more you pay on a fair rate applied to all. It is not a real problem to find the proper exempt level to protect the truly needy, | | George Chace | Dennis, MA | June 9, 2008 | Our present tax caode is unfair and rediculously complex.

Enables greater productivity. | | Richard Anderson | Alexandria, VA | May 29, 2008 | It is time to simplify the tax code and eliminate loopholes that keep attorneys busy trying to interpret the code. | | Trent Sullivan | Macomb, IL | May 26, 2008 | x | | David Crocker Jr | Westford, MA | May 25, 2008 | Our government spends excessive amounts of money trying to implement a complex and unfair tax system.

If we had a flat tax of, say, 10%, how is it unfair that someone earning $10,000,000 per year would pay $1,000,000 in taxes contrast to someone earning $30,000 paying only $3,000? Obviously, the lowest income group should be exempt from taxes, because they need every penny to live on. But a flat rate for the rest of us is more than fair. What is unfair is having to pay a higher rate per dollar of earned income just because you worked hard to acquire a better paying job. | | Ryan McCarty | Nashville, TN | May 19, 2008 | x | | victor stevens | ft. lauderdale, FL | May 18, 2008 | Stop big givernment waste, and inefficiency.

It would be fair. Simply set a level under which no taxes are levied and above that everything is taxed at the flat rate. Yes, you would be giving up the ability to attempt to influence behavior by giving tax relief and credits, but the return would be enormous. The IRS could be essentially eliminated. It would also put H&R Bloch and a multitude of tax accountants out of work. But balance this against the expense of maintaining the current system and it is clear that a flat tax is the way to go. | | Stacy Wascom | Baker, LA | May 13, 2008 | x | | Travis Kirkland | Pembroke, GA | May 13, 2008 | x | | Candace Arnold | Tulsa, OK | May 12, 2008 | A flat tax would be a more fair system, eliminate cheating, and give the government a better revenue base. In addition, putting a lot of IRS people and lawyers out of work would save a LOT of money. | | Gary Cannon | San Diego, CA | May 12, 2008 | x | | Ken Athow | Colorado Springs, CO | May 12, 2008 | x | | Ken Athow | Colorado Springs, CO | May 12, 2008 | x | | harry nieves | springfield, MA | May 11, 2008 | x | | Terry Zimmerman | Granbury, TX | May 10, 2008 | We need a flat tax! | | Aaron Martin | Bedford, PA | May 10, 2008 | x | | Donald Rash | SOUTHAVEN, MS | May 10, 2008 | Stop playing class warfare, stop the nonsense rhetoric that you are spewing, and do something real and right. Abolish the I.R.S. as we know and tear Washington down to it's effective Constitutional limits. Doing away with the rediculous tax code would be a good start. Politicians play the class warfare game all the time but when it comes to changing the tax code to something fair such as the "Flat Tax", you suddenly go silent. Could it be that you really don't want taxes to be simple so as to contunue deluding the public with your dishonest nonsense? Clinton, mind your own business and stay out of my wallet. Obama,stop promising to spend money that is not yours to spend. McCain, show that you really are a maverick and abolish the tax code. | | Micheal Begeman | Dale City, VA | May 9, 2008 | x | | Tammie Manfull | Klamath Falls, OR | May 8, 2008 | The current tax code is confusing and cumbersome at best. Because it is so complex, it seems like it's purposefully confusing to trick the average citizen into paying more. A flat tax with a cap on low income taxes and a cap on the percentages that could be charged would be fair, save the government millions of dollars, and provide the same income for the government. | | Elizabeth Lindell | Saint George, UT | May 7, 2008 | x | | Jesse Myers | Jonesborough, TN | May 6, 2008 | I plead for Flat tax. | | John Scalice | Farmingdale, NY | May 6, 2008 | I am a teacher as is my wife with moderate incomes. We are also raising a 2 year old daughter. Although we benefit from a lot of tax incenitives it simply is too complex and unfair to the majority of American's. With a flat tax, everyone pays the same because everyone is equal. | | john reynolds | fullerton, CA | May 5, 2008 | government by the govenrment and for the government is not what the founding fathers had in mind me thinks. | | Ronald Martin | Kingman, AZ | May 5, 2008 | I am a business owner and I think a flat tax is the way to go for all Americans. | | William Ancona | Akron, OH | May 5, 2008 | HONG KONG DID THIS YEARS AGO AND IT TOOK THEM OUT OF BANKRUPTCY IN THREE YEARS. THIS PROVINENCE BECAME WEALTHY AND THEIR PEOPLE SAVED MONEY. IT IS PROVEN TO WORK. OUR GOVERNMENT DOESN'T WANT THE BIG BUSINESS TO PAY BECAUSE BIG BUSINESS PAYS FOR OUR GOVERNMENTS PERKS AND BENEFITS.OUR CONGRESS AND SENATE THAT THE PEOPLE THE PEOPLE PUT IN OFFICE CARES MORE FOR B.B. THAN THE PEOPLE THEMSELVES. | | Tim Wise | broken Arrow, OK | May 5, 2008 | x | | Paul Crandall | Bonney lake, WA | May 4, 2008 | x | | Christian Frahs | Elbridge, NY | May 2, 2008 | K.I.S.S. it always works best. Instead of regulating the people you work for. Please try regulating yourselves, STOP WASTEFUL SPENDING! | | Charles Jewart | Pittsburgh, PA | May 1, 2008 | Once you pass this, then make a constitutional amendment requiring a balanced budget. | | Marcus Moody | Little Rock, AR | May 1, 2008 | x | | Timothy Devlin | Avon, CT | May 1, 2008 | A flat tax that could not be raised except by a super majority might help to slow the growth of government. | | Robert Caughey | Westlake Village, CA | May 1, 2008 | Why would you scrap the tax code. This is currently how you make your living off our tax dollars. Remember these are our dollars not yours. | | William Edwards | ROYSE CITY, TX | April 30, 2008 | x | | Kacee Jones | Canton, OH | April 30, 2008 | Make the tax code fair for business owners and corporations, as well as citizens. 5% of high income earners are paying 80% of taxes. How fair is that? | | Glenda Puckett | NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TX | April 30, 2008 | PLEASE, PLEASE abolish the out dated and expensive tax code. GIVE US(the American people whom you serve) THE FLAT TAX!!!
Thank you, Glenda Puckett

If it took you 20 years to figure out what kind of man Rev Wright is, how can I trust you to defend me against all enemies? We would all be dead while you were trying to figure it out. (Border Security.....much less the rest of the world)

They are supposed to "work for we the people". It's about time for the American people to stand together and rebel against those that will not work for us.
We need a flat tax or a national sales tax to make our tax system more fair. | | Matthew George | Birmingham, AL | April 30, 2008 | A flat tax is better than the current system but I prefer a national sales tax. Whatever the rate needed to produce the revenue required by the federal government, collected for all sales would eliminate the need for the IRS and ensure that all citizens pay their share. Imagine, everyone pays and pays the exact same amount. | | Linda Wek | Yankton, SD | April 29, 2008 | Make the tax code fair & simple. | | Zack Smith | Akron, OH | April 29, 2008 | x | | Steve Levee | Dallas, GA | April 29, 2008 | x | | G.C.

Flat tax is the way to go. Urge you to take action on this issue and prove to the American people that ONE PRESIDENT will actually do something to fix this system.

Give us the flat tax. What could be more fair? Everyone pays the same percentage of what they make. You make a little more...you pay a little more. Period. | | Joan Middleton | Ossian, IN | April 28, 2008 | I am very upset with the current tax system. It is unfair and easily manipulated. Our taxes are higher than they have ever been and ALL of the republican and democratic candidates only talk of RAISING the taxes. | | charles cunningham | elkridge, MD | April 28, 2008 | I PAY FOR TRASH PICKUP AND STILL PAY TAX FOR IT MAKE IT FAIR | | James Anderson Merritt | Santa Cruz, CA | April 28, 2008 | Step 1: Simplify the tax code by replacing it with a straightforward flat tax.
Step 2: Pare down functions of government so that States and localities deal with their own problems and priorities.
Step 3: Lower the flat tax rate and, if possible, eliminate it altogether, leaving excise taxes, taxes, and user fees (for optional services) as the nation's income.
Step 4: Repeal the 16th Amendment. | | Damian Andre | Camp Verde, AZ | April 28, 2008 | Taxation is, by and large, legalized theft. | | Carol Palmatier | Fenton, MI | April 28, 2008 | The current complex tax code is insane. And it's spawned its own industry of tax advisers, preparers and consultants, forcing Americans to pay more more to keep their money. There must be a better way! | | Blaine Casanave | Benicia, CA | April 27, 2008 | x | | Dennis Davis | Coloma, MI | April 27, 2008 | John McCain i hope..........Scrap the tax get wise and understand we're all tired and need some change...real change | | janet dimaio | north attleboro, MA | April 27, 2008 | x | | jose hurtado | goodyear, AZ | April 27, 2008 | x | | Dona Burnett | Alton, IL | April 26, 2008 | This is unfair.

We need to hold everyone accountable for their own situation. Whatever happened to personal responsibility?! | | Eula Sisco | Alton, IL | April 26, 2008 | Hardworking individuals are tired of paying to support those who refuse to face the fact that THEY are responsible for raising and supporting their own families. We need a Fair Tax for all. | | Jami Blake | houston, TX | April 26, 2008 | I'm tired of paying for others who chose not to do their part in society and work.

Johns | Phillipsburg, NJ | April 21, 2008 | X | | Lawrence Hamilton | Castle Rock, CO | April 21, 2008 | Taxes are theft by the government. Remember the words of Jefferson: "A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government." The flat tax is the best altenative to no taxes at all. | | Scott Larson | Clear Lake, MN | April 21, 2008 | In the Constitution this country was founded on, it states all men are created equal.

Scrap the tax code and have the gumption to say so while stumping.
While you're at it you could also admit that government is too large and costs too much, particularly when it comes to healthcare, pensions, and retirement. Why should government employees (both state and federal) be better off than those who pay them? And why should you be able to vote yourself raises? | | John Hogue | Irving, TX | April 20, 2008 | The current tax code is not only rediculously complicated,it invites unnecessary political pressure from every special interest group, thereby bogging down the Congress and the Executive branch in dealing with these lobbyists instead of doing the real business of the country. Can't you summon up the intestinal fortitude to abolish the system and install a Flat Tax? | | G.L. Sullivan | Sarepta, LA | April 20, 2008 | x | | Frank Hill | Bristol, ME | April 20, 2008 | Admit it please. The current tax code is a monstrosity, and now defies logic.

Couple this with a pledge to not spend more than the previous year's intake. | | Colleen Whitlock | Lawrenceville, GA | April 19, 2008 | This is a no brainer. It is so needed. | | Nathan Stracener | Pickens, SC | April 19, 2008 | If you really want to boost the economy DECREASE the tax burden and make it easier to do. | | Bernard Tomicic | Frenchtown, NJ | April 19, 2008 | Eliminate the abomination called the IRS. Institute a flat tax of 10%. Cut spending Everywhere. Bring all our troops back home. They are in 130 different countries in 700 different bases. Bring them all back home and they can defend our borders. Stop being the policeman to the world. Eliminate the Federal Reserve. Keep government out of lives and business. Go back on the gold standard.
These changes would put this country back on top of the world in no time. Opportunities and wealth would be plentiful for everyone as long as government stays away. | | Chas Pinckard | Henderson, KY | April 19, 2008 | This would be better than the current tax law.
The government should only use monies they need, not want for earmarks. Meaning use tax revs to run a small less beauracratic government. We don't need all that junk that they are doing in washington dc. | | Tamara Colbert | Altadena, CA | April 19, 2008 | As a patriot, the current tax situation in this country is 'taxation without representation.' Hard working, tax-paying, legal American citizens should not be responsible to pay for the 50 million NOT paying taxes or on welfare...or the 12 million illegal aliens. Fair means just that---everyone pays his/her share. America is an equal opportunity country...NOT a handout. | | jon pierce | signal mountain, TN | April 19, 2008 | the current tax system is absurd.a flat tax or the"fair tax" would stimulate the economy by being more friendly toward individuals and business. change is way overdue! | | Jerard Goldsmith | Broomfield, CO | April 19, 2008 | x | | Michael Taylor | Midlothian, TX | April 19, 2008 | x | | Zane Withrow | Salinas, CA | April 19, 2008 | x | | CAROLE DAMICO | LORAIN, OH | April 19, 2008 | This should be a priority as tax reform has been needed for years. | | Elizabeth Jacobs | Loveland, CO | April 19, 2008 | x | | Mark Lewis | Hillsboro, OR | April 18, 2008 | x | | Danielle Hinkley | Anderson, CA | April 18, 2008 | The Federal tax is an illegal tax anyway.

Americans desire that our government take care of problems here at home and scale back our aid to other countries. Let corporate America provide aid to foreign countries and receive credits for doing so and diminish what our government is spending abroad. Our government's primary concern should be for the People (of the United States of America). | | Angela Burnett | Foreston, MN | April 18, 2008 | There is no law saying that we have to pay income tax, so when they take our hard earned income they are robbing us.

A flat tax will get rid of waste in the government and in the private sector by making the tax code easyier and accountable. Plus, the tax system will be in more reality by taxing the people that can pay taxes and succeed, and allow those whom cannot pay taxes and trying to climb the latter to enjoy the "american dream" which is slipping away fast due to policies ran by politics. Please support this . It will bring the american dream back for all americans. A tax system like this will rid any problem of political game playing with pork and aother interests as well. Thank you.

You MUST stop spending our money, return it to is and allow us to pay tax in a civilized manner that does not require hiring an accountant or wasting hours and hours in this most unproductive of activities.

There are sooooooo many taxes on us now that we have a hard time paying through the nose just to make ends meet. Keep your grubby hands off our money, STOP the earmarks, and stop stealing our Social Security by using it for your pet projects and pay it back into the Social Security system.

It also means the politicans wouldn't have a bottomless well to go to for money. | | Colleen Lane | Bozeman, MT | April 15, 2008 | x | | Michael King | Staunton, VA | April 15, 2008 | It's all a lie anyway.

Give me the flat rate any day! | | Timothy Lovely | West Alexandria, OH | April 15, 2008 | New Tas Code? A must. We need a tax code where every one is taxed equally. You earn a dollar you pay a % of it in tax OR, you spend a dollar you a % of it in tax. No breaks, no deductions for children, no house morgage, no energy credits, no IRS, no prepeation fees, no political pandering. Just a flat rate. Nothing more or less. How hard can that be? | | david swink | Vale, NC | April 15, 2008 | x | | david swink | Vale, NC | April 15, 2008 | x | | david swink | Vale, NC | April 15, 2008 | x | | Joseph DePalantino | Go, NC | April 15, 2008 | We've heard a lot about change and how Washington is broken. Here is anopportunity to enact meaningful change for us the citizens. Scrap the code. Enact a fair tax code for all Americans. And control the spending. Otherwise your promise for change is nothing but cheap political rhetoric. | | Virginia Wiseman | Concord, NC | April 15, 2008 | x | | Dan Morgan | Braselton, GA | April 15, 2008 | x | | Tomas O. Armijo | Las Vegas, NV | April 15, 2008 | Liberty and justice for all! | | Michael Salaba | Faribault, MN | April 15, 2008 | Scrap the code. Leave Robin Hood in the 8th Century! | | James Trout | Goshen, IN | April 15, 2008 | x | | Gary Forsberg | Farmington, UT | April 15, 2008 | Witness the surging economy of Russia and several other countries of the former Soviet bloc. All of them instituted a flat tax. Tax revenues would no doubt increase, as is always the case with a tax cut, and would be so with the flat tax system. Also, corporations should pay no income tax, as that just gets passed along to consumers in prices, and shackles US corporations in trying to compete with subsidized corporation around the world. | | Scott Brown | San Angelo, TX | April 15, 2008 | Please move our country out of this insane taxation system. Simply our tax code. Efficiently handle the money that we entrust to you to distribute for NECESSARY uses in our country. | | C. Vance Shannon | Mesquite, NV | April 15, 2008 | The current income tax system is unfair to one and all. Those at the low income levels pay too much, those at the upper income levels either shelter their income or refrain from activity that would increase their level of taxes.
There is nothing unfair about a flat tax. It's not unfair for someone making $1M to pay a flat tax on that income. A flat tax on that level of income is considerably more than would be the same flat tax on someone making $25K annually.
The existing income tax structure punishes savings. It punishes those who require withdrawal of IRA funds to supplement retirement income. It punishes those reliant on social security income who must work to supplement their income.
The existing income tax structure is subject to political exploitation, by republicans and democrats alike. It encourages lobbyists to "bargain" with legislators.
The existing income tax structure forces millions of Americans to hire tax professionals to figure out their taxes. American businesses are also obliged to hire tax accountants and tax lawyers to file their taxes and ensure they are in compliant of an overburdening tax structure.
Americans who prepare their tax...[trimmed for length] | | Lynn Butner | Boonville, NC | April 15, 2008 | I want the FLAT TAX!!! | | William Gravell | Littleton, CO | April 15, 2008 | x | | N A | Los Angeles, CA | April 15, 2008 | x | | Dennis James | Haxtun, CO | April 15, 2008 | Tired of paying and paying and our taxes going to support non citizens. Scrap the tax code. | | Warren Zysman | Fair Lawn, NJ | April 15, 2008 | x | | Bruce Kahler | Colorado Springs, CO | April 15, 2008 | I prefer a Federal sales tax. It would free Americans from the intrusiveness and bullying of the IRS and also capture undetected, unreported, illegal monies from crime, drugs, etc. | | gary williams | kingsville, MO | April 15, 2008 | x | | Mitchell Halbreich | Stanton, CA | April 15, 2008 | x | | Stephen Golden | Littleton, CO | April 15, 2008 | x | | Phyllis Allison | Rose City, MI | April 15, 2008 | Someone has lost sight of the fact that the government is "of the people, by the people, for the people" not the other way around. Our entire life is affected by the lack of money. No trips to visit relatives,less food, lower thermometers and an eroded fixed income after years of paying taxes and having little to show for it.
A flat tax would be a proper move to make, along with responsibility for the actions the government takes. Let's get back to the Constitution the way it was written ! | | Colleen Mikkelson | Seabeck, WA | April 15, 2008 | Scrap the code!!!!!!

There is no reason why those making $200K+ should be getting tax breaks when we still have deficit spending! | | Lee Sherwood | Plano, TX | April 15, 2008 | x | | Everett Harrison | Auburn, CA | April 15, 2008 | Filing taxes should be easy. | | Louise Settelmyer | Orland Park, IL | April 15, 2008 | Sad to say but our country on its way down....HOWEVER...I do believe it is never to late to do the RIGHT thing....and starting with implenting a flat tax would be an excellent way to steer us out of this mess.
