Rep. Sam Graves Pimps the Fair Tax in E-mail

Posted by Duane Lester on Jun 29th, 2009 • Clicks

I’m going to a townhall meeting tonight in St. Joseph, Missouri. Rep. Sam Graves is hosting the event to discuss the current state of America’s tax system. Here’s the pitch:

Dear Friend,
In the past, you have contacted me with your concerns regarding our nation’s spending. I wholeheartedly believe that Washington cannot spend, borrow or bail its way to economic prosperity. Congress must show the same fiscal restraint to balance our budget that Missouri families are using to balance their checkbook.

I believe we also must reform the way we tax our citizens. We need a tax system that is simple, fair and promotes economic growth. I want individuals and small business owners to live their lives, rather than spending their valuable time filling out forms.

Our current tax code is outrageous. At more than 54,000 pages, the current tax code is burdensome and difficult to comprehend. There are better ways to fund our government and end the confusion and unfairness that is our current income tax code.

I want to invite you to a couple tax reform town hall meetings that I am hosting to discuss these critical issues facing our nation.

Sincerely,

That’s right. Sam Graves considers me a friend.

What I found really cool was what I found towards the bottom of the email. I took a screenshot.

See that little blurb after the graphic? It reads:

–
FairTax.org

- Restore power to the people
- Repeal the 16th Amendment
- Abolish the IRS
- Keep what you earn
- Demand transparent taxation
- Enjoy financial freedom and privacy

FairTax.org

One good reason to support Sam Graves. One of many reasons I voted for him.
