A
RESOLUTION
Urging
the United States Congress to enact H.R. 25, the Fair Tax Act; and for other
purposes.
WHEREAS,
the United States Congress currently has pending before it H.R. 25, the Fair Tax
Act; and
WHEREAS,
the purpose of that legislation is to repeal all corporate and individual income
taxes, payroll taxes, self-employment taxes, capital gains taxes, estate taxes
and gift taxes and replace them with a revenue-neutral personal consumption tax;
and
WHEREAS,
the Fair Tax offers long needed tax relief in the form of lower prices, nearly
nonexistent compliance costs, and the ability to choose how much to spend in
taxes to all Americans, while eliminating the income tax and allowing Americans
to keep 100 percent of their paychecks; and
WHEREAS,
this much needed proposal will dramatically reduce prices, protect and ensure
funding of Social Security and Medicare, empower low-income earners, and put
choice and control back into the hands of every American.
NOW,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the United States
Congress is urged to enact H.R. 25, the Fair Tax Act.
BE
IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized
and directed to transmit appropriate copies of this resolution to each member of
the Georgia congressional delegation.
