When we look outside for self-definition and
self-worth, we are giving power away and setting ourselves up to be
victims. We are trained to be victims. We are taught to give our
power away. -Robert Burney |
Hi Folks,
As editor of this email
newsletter, I'm faced with a few challenges. My primary intent is to
provide information that will benefit people with disabilities and
others who are affected by disability issues.
Sometimes I find information
that can be important to everyone regardless of ability. I share what
I find in an effort to provide a benefit to the people who read these
pages.
This edition of Support-Lines
contains information about taxes and government waste. I believe the
United States of America is the greatest country in the world and I
love this country. Greatness comes with a price. It is also burdened
with problems.
Two of the predicaments we
have in this nation is that of income taxation and national debt. I
believe they are separate, yet interconnected problems that affect the
quality of life of everyone in this land. These are compounded by
wasteful spending of the money that is collected. Whether you pay
income taxes or not, you pay.
As a former businessman, I
know the tax burden that is passed onto consumers. Every cost,
including taxes imposed
upon a business is passed on in the form of higher prices. The income
taxes that my employees paid was originally collected by me from my
customers. It was included in the prices I charged for the products
and services my business rendered. I believe a simpler taxation method
would improve the standard of living for people with disabilities by
improving spending power through reduction in prices. And it would be
an honest tax system. Notwithstanding, it might have some wrinkles
that would need to be ironed out.
A substantial
number of people with disabilities live with income that places them
below the federal poverty level.
If spending up to the
poverty level is
tax free, then the people who are most affected by higher prices will
benefit significantly.
I hope you find the
information contained in this edition to be useful. I've included
links to sources for further reading, study and review.
Till next time-
John

Something to Consider:
Thumbnail
Sketch of the FairTax
The current
Federal income tax system is broken. Patching up the existing code is
pointless. It's time for a fresh approach, a fair approach.
It's time
for the FairTax.
Simply put, the
FairTax replaces the way we're currently taxed - based on our annual
income - with a tax on goods and services. The FairTax is a voluntary
“consumption" tax: the more you buy, the more you pay in taxes, the
less you buy, the less you pay in taxes.
It's simple.
Everyone pays their fair share of taxes, and with the FairTax rebate,
spending up to the poverty level is tax free. The Federal government
is fully funded, including Social Security and Medicare, and you don't
need an expert to determine your Federal taxes.
The FairTax is a
federal retail sales tax that replaces the entire federal income and
Social Security tax systems, including personal, gift, estate, capital
gains, alternative minimum, Social Security/Medicare, self-employment,
and corporate taxes. The FairTax allows Americans to keep 100 percent
of their paychecks (minus any state income taxes), ends corporate
taxes and compliance costs hidden in the retail cost of goods and
services, and fully funds the federal government while fulfilling the
promise of Social Security and Medicare.
The income tax exports our jobs, rather than our products. The
FairTax brings jobs home. Most importantly, U.S. exports are not
burdened by the FairTax, as they are with the current income tax. So
the FairTax allows U.S. exports to sell overseas for prices 22 percent
lower, on average, than they do now, with similar profit margins.
Lower prices sharply increase demand for U.S. exports, thereby
increasing job creation in U.S. manufacturing sectors. At home,
foreign imports are subject to the same FairTax rate as domestically
produced goods. Not only does the FairTax put U.S. products sold here
on the same tax footing as foreign imports, but the dramatic lowering
of compliance costs in comparison to other countries' value-added
taxes also gives U.S. products a definitive pricing advantage which
foreign tax systems cannot match.
All Americans take home their whole paychecks. Not only do more
Americans have jobs, but they also take home 100 percent of their
paychecks (except where state income taxes apply). No federal income
taxes or payroll taxes are withheld from paychecks, pensions, or
Social Security checks.
Retail prices no longer hide corporate taxes or their compliance
costs, which drive up costs for those who can least afford to pay. Did
you know that hidden income taxes and the cost of complying with them
currently make up 20 to 30 percent of all retail prices? It's true.
According to Dr. Dale Jorgenson of Harvard University, hidden income
taxes are passed on to the consumer in the form of higher prices -
from 20 to 30 percent higher than they would otherwise be - for
everything you buy. If competition does not allow prices to rise,
corporations lower labor costs, again hurting those who can least
afford to lose their jobs. Finally, if prices are as high as
competition allows and labor costs are as low as practical,
profits/dividends to shareholders are driven down, thereby hurting
retirement savings for moms-and-pops and pension funds invested in
Corporate America. With the FairTax, the sham of corporate taxation
ends, competition drives prices down, more people in America have
jobs, and retirement/pension funds see improved performance.
The FairTax strategy is revenue neutrality: Neither raise nor lower
taxes. If you were in a 23-percent income tax bracket, the federal
government would take $23 out of your paycheck for every $100 you
made. With the FairTax, if the federal government gets $23 out of
every $100 spent in America, the same total revenue is delivered to
the federal government. This is revenue neutrality. So, instead of
paycheck-earning Americans paying 15.3 percent of their paychecks in
Social Security/Medicare payroll taxes, plus an average of 18 percent
of their paychecks in federal income tax, for a total of about 33
percent, consumers in America pay only $23 out of every $100 they
choose to spend on new goods or services for their own personal
consumption. And this tax is collected only on spending above the
federal poverty level, thus making the tax rate zero up to that level.
At this rate, the FairTax pays for all current government operations,
including Social Security and Medicare. Government revenues are even
more stable and predictable than with the federal income tax because
consumption is a more constant revenue base than is income.
No tax on used goods. No tax on business inputs. With the
FairTax, if you choose to buy any new good or service, the sales tax
is charged just as state sales taxes are computed today. If you choose
to buy used goods - used car, used home, used appliances - you do not
pay the FairTax. If, as a business owner or farmer, you buy something
for strictly business purposes (not for personal consumption), you pay
no consumption tax. So, in deciding what to buy, you get to choose
whether or not you pay the federal consumption tax.
No federal sales tax up to the poverty level means progressivity
like today's tax system. Furthermore, to ensure that no American
pays tax on necessities, the FairTax plan provides a prepaid, monthly
rebate for every registered household to cover the consumption tax
spent on necessities up to the federal poverty level. This, along with
several other features, is how the FairTax completely untaxes the
poor, lowers the tax burden on most, while making the overall rate
progressive. However, the FairTax is progressive based on
lifestyle/spending choices, rather than simply punishing those
taxpayers who are successful. Do you see how much freer life is with
the FairTax instead of the income tax?
Tax criminals - don't make criminals out of honest taxpayers.
Today, the IRS admits to 25 percent non-compliance with the code.
FairTax.org will be generous and simply take the position that this is
likely a conservative estimate of the underground economy. However,
this does not take into account the criminal/drug/porn economy, which
equally conservative estimates put at one trillion dollars of untaxed
activity. The FairTax taxes this - criminals love to flash that cash
at retail - while continuing to provide the federal penalties so
effective in bringing such miscreants to justice. The substantial
decrease in points of compliance - from every wage earner, investor,
and retiree, down to only retailers - also allows enforcement to
concentrate on following the money to criminal activity, rather than
making potential criminals out of every taxpayer struggling to
decipher the code.

sales taxation, an increase in these business sectors might naturally follow.)

THE BABY BOOMER MYTH
The first Census was taken in
the United States of America in 1790. During the first 100 years of the
census, between 1790 and 1890 the population of the United States grew
at an average rate of about 32 percent.
Between 1890 and 1990 the
population of the United States grew at an average rate of about 14 3/4
percent. The rate of population growth was cut in less than half during
the second hundred years of the Census. Of course immigration had slowed
in the second 100 year period.
As we will see, the baby-boomer
myth asks us to believe that a part is greater than the whole. An
absolute impossibility.
Let's take it step by step.
First of all, the cause of the baby boomer generation is related to 16
million service men and women returning from theaters of World War II in
1945 and for the next twenty years (1946 through 1965), the child
bearing years for these people, causing an unusually high number of
children to be born. At least, that's part of the myth.
According to Census figures, in the period between 1950 and 1970 the
recorded number of population increase was 71,137,463. During the thirty
year period from 1970-1990, the population increased 69,386,698. If we
tally the population growth for any thirty year period since 1950, we
find that the population growth has remained consistently the same on
average.
Although it's never mentioned,
the boomer myth implies that there were 76 million births above normal
between 1946 and 1965. If we can't even find them as normal, how can
they be above normal?
These figures include immigrants. So where are the baby boomers?
Use your head and figure it out.

Hey guys!!! Since I didn't do a November issue of TBI Raiders
Newsletter and Christmas & New Year's Eve is this month, I'm going to
make this month's newsletter be a special edition and have a lot of
positive stuff.
The newsletter this month is something that I want
to be real special and to give us hope for the New Year! Also on
http://tbiraiders.proboards30.com there is an area designated to
the newsletter. In that area you can discuss everything and anything
that has to do with the newsletter. But anyways, below are the
questions I really would like your input on:
- What, if anything, are you looking forward to the new year?
- What are the new year's resolutions you have made for yourself?
- If you are still in school do you have anything exciting coming up?
- Are you going to try to make a positive difference in your
community?
- Are you willing to make your voice be heard so that life can improve
for individuals with a TBI?
- Is there anything you would like non-survivors around the nation
about what it's like to live with a TBI?
The third Friday of every month is the deadline for the newsletter.
I look forward to hearing your responses!!!
If you'd like to subscribe to the newsletter email me at
tbi_raiders@myway.com to
let me know and give me an email address to send it to.
I sent an email to the Oklahoma governor,
Oklahoma House of Representatives, Oklahoma Senate, US House of
Representatives, US Senate in an attempt to get a connection going
between Americans who have sustained a TBI and the Federal level where
decision are made that affect our lives.
I want to get a lot of positivity going in
the TBI Community and showing others in this nation what we're capable
of. I am only one survivor who is trying to make a long leap at
getting Traumatic Brain Injury noticed in the media and by those who
represent us.

"If you think you can,
you can. And if you think you can't, you're right."
-Mary Kay
Ash |
by Dr. Glen Johnson, Clinical Neuropsychologist
from:
http://www.tbiguide.com/howbrainworks.html
Is the brain like a big phone
system (because it has a lot of connections) or is it one big computer
with ON or OFF states (like the zeros and ones in a computer)? Neither
of the above is correct.
Let's look at the brain using a
different model. Let's look at the brain as an orchestra. In an
orchestra, you have different musical sections. There is a percussion
section, a string section, a woodwind section, and so on. Each has its
own job to do and must work closely with the other sections. When
playing music, each section waits for the conductor. The conductor
raises a baton and all the members of the orchestra begin playing at the
same time playing on the same note. If the drum section hasn't been
practicing, they don't play as well as the rest of the orchestra. The
overall sound of the music seems "off" or plays poorly at certain times.
This is a better model of how the brain works. We used to think of the
brain as a big computer, but it's really like millions of little
computers all working together.

"I will persist until I succeed. Always will I take another step. If that is
of no avail I will take another, and yet another. In truth, one step at a time
is not too difficult. . . . I know that small attempts, repeated, will
complete any undertaking." - Og Mandino |
What is the SILC?
The Statewide Independent Living Council (SILC) was established in 1992,
under the Federal Rehabilitation Act Amendments. Though it is a Governor
appointed council of Pennsylvanians, the SILC itself is an independent
non-profit organization.
Membership in the SILC represents a broad range of disabilities and law,
people with disabilities must make up a majority of the Council's staff and
board. The Council works in partnership with the Office of Vocational
Rehabilitation and the network of Center for Independent Living across the
state. In all activities and responsibilities, the SILC adheres to and
promotes the Independent Living Philosophy.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mission Statement
To use it collective power and legal mandate to develop and secure public
policies that insure civil rights and expand options for all people with
disabilities in all aspects of life.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Who Are the Directors?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What Is The SILC Focus?
Consumer-control is the keystone of the Independent Living Philosophy. It
maintains that every person, no matter what the disability, has the right to
make choices in their life. Self-advocacy and self-determination represent
important concepts which embody consumer control. True consumer control
assumes the right risks and consequences, and accepts the choices made by a
consumer.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What Do They Do?
The SILC's role is to advise the Governor and his administration on the
development and implementation of public policies impacting people with
disabilities. The focus must be on policies which empower Pennsylvanians with
disabilities and their supporters. This role is fulfilled via the State Plan
for Independent Living, created by people with disabilities through a series
of public hearings.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How Can You Participate?
To become involved or for more information, contact the SILC offices for a
copy of the State Plan and news on upcoming quarterly SILC meetings and other
public forums.

Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) is a private, non-partisan,
non-profit organization representing more than one million members and
supporters nationwide. CAGW's mission is to eliminate waste, mismanagement,
and inefficiency in the federal government. Founded in 1984 by the late
industrialist J. Peter Grace and syndicated columnist Jack Anderson, CAGW is
the legacy of the President's Private Sector Survey on Cost Control, also
known as the Grace Commission.
In 1982, President Reagan directed the Grace Commission to "work like tireless
bloodhounds to root out government inefficiency and waste of tax dollars." For
two years, 161 corporate executives and community leaders led an army of 2,000
volunteers on a waste hunt through the federal government. The search was
funded entirely by voluntary contributions of $76 million from the private
sector; it cost taxpayers nothing. The Grace Commission made 2,478
recommendations which, if implemented, would save $424.4 billion over three
years, an average of $141.5 billion a year all without eliminating essential
services.
The 47 volumes and 21,000 pages of the Grace Commission Report constituted a
vision of an efficient, well-managed government that is accountable to the
taxpayers. CAGW has worked to make that vision a reality and, in a little over
two decades, has helped save taxpayers $758.7 billion through the
implementation of Grace Commission findings and other recommendations.
Former Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole has stated, "CAGW researches and
identifies the most blatant waste in government and shows how it can be
eliminated. CAGW has a long and successful record of winning major cuts in
wasteful spending without sacrificing America's defenses."
House Republican Policy Committee Chairman Christopher Cox (R-Calif.) went
even further: "CAGW has fought side-by-side with us for welfare reform and
massive cuts in wasteful spending to shrink the size of government and the
deficit." Rep. Cox called CAGW "the premier waste-fighting organization in
America."
CAGW's membership has grown from 5,000 members in February 1988 to more than
one million members and supporters today. This phenomenal growth is the result
of taxpayers' increasing frustration with the squandering of their hard-earned
money in the nation's capital.
CAGW is nationally recognized as the source of information on government
waste. CAGW representatives appear frequently on television, radio talk shows,
and in print.
CAGW produces numerous publications highlighting wasteful government spending.
Government WasteWatch is the group's quarterly newspaper, which is distributed
to members of CAGW, Congress, and members of the media nationwide. The annual
Congressional Pig Book Summary is CAGW's famous exposé of the most glaring and
irresponsible pork-barrel projects in the 13 annual appropriations bills and
their sponsors.
