Taxes Made Simple

...now where is that Tea? Folks it's past time for that 21st Century Tea Party we have been waiting for. We need an annual Tea... I mean Tax Code party whereby we dump that acursed code into Boston Harbor repeatedly until all the fools in Congress finally get the idea we want tax code change, not tax code churn.

Like the Revolutionary Minutemen of old, I believe the time has come for all FairTax Fans to go from door-to-door, house-to-house, enlistiing friend and neighbor in this effort to restore liberty, not to mention sanity, to this nation, by removing the income tax burden completely and permanently.
