Cathy. Tell your brother that If the Fairtax would have been law last year he would not have been forced to with hold anything from his peoples pay and he could retrain the IRS tax person that is sponging his business right in his office, out of business. His employees would have receive a prebate for about $2300.00 last year and more and he would not have any income and self employment tax at all. I can't understand why Americans and especially business owners don't know about the Fairtax Bill H.R.25. Can you ask him to answer this question and reply to this email. Ask him if he did not with hold from pay what would his people do? Larry Fairtax Melton In a message dated 1/4/2009 12:36:36 PM Central Standard Time, catr...@juno.com writes:
Tom This letter is so close to the truth. My brother is in this same position. He has lived, breathed, and eaten his business. Just when his family was beginning to enjoy the profits, along comes big government and his taxes are astronomical! I could live for a year on what he has to pay on a quarterly basis! And because taxes are going up, he has had to fire people and go back to full time work at the office (note I said at the office; even when he is visiting us here in MO he is on the phone daily) to keep the business running. This is literally killing him. Many of these people that work for him have been with him a long time. He is keeping them as long as possible and they do understand the need to work longer hours for less pay as they did it when the business was growing. But he doesn’t know how long they will be able to keep it up. The small businessmen is going to go under. When they do, Corporate America will take over.
