SPECIAL MESSAGE TO THE FLORIDA TAX AND BUDGET REFORM COMMISSION
To the Florida Tax and Budget Reform Commission:
Please consider placing on the November 2008 ballot an amendment to the Florida Constitution that would replace all the taxes at both the State and Local levels
including property, tangible and intangible taxes with a retail sales tax to apply to all NEW goods and services, with NO exemptions.
This amendment should change the Florida tax system at the State and Local levels to a consumption tax basis patterned after the federal Fair Tax Bill (HR-25) including the prebate.
The conversion of the current, complicated, and sometimes unreliable system of taxation can and should be accomplished in a timely manner. The retail consumption tax would broaden and strengthen our tax base, thus providing a more stable and reliable form of revenue collection.
It would also relieve the homeowners, the business owners, and the average taxpayer of the threat of losing all that they have worked hard to build, i.e., their homes, their farms, and their businesses, to an unfair and archaic form of tax collection (our current system) that is based on Socialist principles.
We need to move to a more Capitalistic and stable form of revenue collection. A state based FairTax solution is that remedy. I strongly urge your consideration to this most sound economic proposal.
I am a business owner, a lawyer, and a homeowner and I want to do everything possible to rescue this country from the illegal shake down artists. We must end the current regressive system of taxation. Your serious consideration and action on this proposal is urgently needed.
SHALOM!
PEACE BE WITH YOU!
