The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has focused a great deal of attention on the Unimaginable waste and fraud committed by our nation’s runaway spending habit. Multiple Reports have shown case after case of our elected officials squandering our tax dollars in both The United States and around the world.So what does the FAIRtax have to do with government spending? In one word: Transparency.
The FAIRtax elegantly shines the light on, and exposes aspects of, our government that no Other tax system can do. Our current income tax system includes a vast number of exemptions, exclusions, deductions, Credits and loopholes that effectively result in less tax revenue in favor of some socially desired Behaviors. This is effectively government spending since it reduces treasury inflow.
Under the FAIRtax these phantom expenditures would vanish. The U.S. would collect the FAIRtax on the retail purchase of new goods and services. A portion of taxes collected would Be remitted back to every U.S. citizen and legal resident in the form of a prebate which is a REFUND of taxes paid on the basic necessities of life and NOT an entitlement.

Reader write in; I like to go to buffet where they have really goods food. I have been going to Oceans on HWY 200 shrimp of all kinds, Fish, chicken of all kinds, Mushrooms fixed several ways, bourbon chicken & pork, beef. I can’t even name all of the food displayed. I took my wife to the doctor and we were close to Golden Coral and I remember the colorful foods in the ads that are running on TV about the steak, butterfly shrimp Baby Back Ribs and many great foods in the ad. We did not have much time so we went in. Have not been there for several years. Parking was plentiful. Got our table, got our plates and started looking for the shrimp and the steak, baby Backs ribs. NADDA! I ask the manager “where the shrimp?” He said oh that’s after 4pm. (I am sure when the price goes up.) There were four kinds of chicken to choose from, fried , roasted, Barbecue, Bourbon plus chicken gizzard, liver. The cheapest way to feed people is serve chicken as the meat. I told the manager I came for shrimp, and I was disappointed.
Disappointed
Grocery store: I have good news and bad news. The good news is the price of eggs went down and bad news is the Carton saying grade A large eggs are small eggs and one of the eggs that I pick out was dirty. The eggs are half the size of last years grad A large eggs! We the consumers are not stupid.
Disappointed
Senior reader: The County raises the values our house (That’s great right?). Your taxes go up and the insurance goes up $100 per month for two years. Now it’s $200 per month more than what they had in their budget. Not fair to the seniors who elected these officials! The mortgage company just raises the monthly payment on these poor seniors and does not even ask. Their grocery money is getting smaller, Marion county is suppose to be second most reasonable place to live in the state??? (It’s moving towards Poverty!) They are going to drive the seniors into small apartments and not live in the home they have paid for all their lives…Publishers note: I am looking for a new house insurance company. We are paying $3000 per year in three years.
NOT Disappointed Continue reading
One of the things the socialist and or the disrupters teach in the colleges is that the white man stole the land from the Indians. They say, you are sitting on stolen land right now! It is true that the Indians were here first. But, who gave this land to the Indian’s. Today we all live in neighborhoods, homes, with close neighbors or some rural life and try to get along. Just a few Indians live on the reservation. Back in the old days settlements were being raided and many times all were killed. WHY? Because someone did not want us to hunt / fish / farm / ranch and live here in peace. Some of the big ranchers would allow the Indians to butcher a cow, but kept a strong fist over it. Of course their was greed from some white men involved, we have that same problem today. The Indian’s did not want the railroad to come through the land. They called it the Iron Horse. Some Rancher / Farmers did not want the RR either.
Approximately 30,000 years ago, the Paleo-Indians, the ancestors of Native Americans, followed herds of animals from Siberia across Beringia, a land bridge connecting Asia and North America, into Alaska. By 8,000 B.C.E., these peoples had spread across North and South America. The Indians claimed the land was their heritage and claimed it was theirs. They were nomads and moved with the weather and animal migration. They did not have permanent houses. If the herd of wild animals moved onto someones settlement or territory trouble came.

Robert Francis Prevost, 69, has become the 267th occupant of the throne of St Peter and he will be known as Leo XIV.
He Grew up as a peruvian but born in Chicago to a Spanish and Franco Italian parents. He served as a alter boy and was ordained in 1982.
He taught for years in as a local parish pastor at a seminary in Trujillo in North Western Peru. He made many trips to the US and serve as a priest and a prior in Chicago. It sounds to me like he was torn between work and building relationships in both the US and Peru.
He was well known and well liked and the first American born to become Pope. Pope Leo XIV lays out vision of papacy and identifies AI as a main challenge for humanity.
Now to add a twist to this, my wife was going through some things her father left. There was two small hard back books, kind of tattered, one was called “The History of the Bible” by the Benziger Brothers. Copy righted 1889 by the Benziger Brothers. She found the book that had been put away for 22 years. It was wrapped in brown paper bag material to keep it nice. Now while I’m watching on TV during the time the Pope was being named, she opened this book the first thing she see’s is a letter inside front from the Pope Leo XIII. The book comes from over 100 years ago. Continue reading
MIAMI, Fla.— Governor Ron DeSantis announced his support for two bills passed by the Florida Legislature aimed at protecting Floridians from unauthorized chemical exposure and atmospheric manipulation.
“I was in Miami to support SB 700, which bans local governments from unilaterally adding fluoride to public drinking water,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “In addition to this, I also reiterated in Miami that Florida is not a testing ground for geoengineering. We already do not permit this activity, and I will be signing SB 56 to prohibit the practice in our skies. The Free State of Florida means freedom from governments or private actors unilaterally applying chemicals or geoengineering to people or public spaces.”
Senate Bill 700, the Florida Farm Bill, includes a provision prohibiting local governments from unilaterally adding fluoride to public drinking water. The legislation follows a November 2024 advisory by Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo cautioning against community water fluoridation due to potential health risks, particularly for pregnant women and children.

TAMPA, Fla.— Governor Ron DeSantis highlighted Florida’s leadership on immigration enforcement and announced that Florida is ready to do more.
“Florida has led the nation on immigration enforcement, and we’re ready to do even more.” Said Governor Ron DeSantis. “We’ve submitted a plan to the federal government to contribute new detention facilities and expanded apprehension efforts to their ongoing mission to reclaim America’s sovereignty.”
Florida is leading the fight on illegal immigration enforcement. Florida has more deputized state law enforcement officers under 287(g) task force deputizations than any other state in the nation. Additionally, more than 100 Florida Highway Patrol Troopers were sworn in as Special Deputy U.S. Marshals. This authority now empowers our state troopers to execute federal warrants and remove dangerous criminals from our communities.
And Florida is ready to do even more. Florida submitted a plan to the federal government to contribute new detention facilities and expanded apprehension efforts to their ongoing mission to reclaim America’s sovereignty. Florida’s plan also includes a proposal to help expedite immigration legal processing by deputizing Florida National Guard JAGS as immigration judges.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla.—Latest data confirms that Florida set a new all-time annual record in 2024 with 143 million visitors—an increase of 1.7% over the previous record set in 2023. This historic growth includes 130.65 million domestic travelers, 8.94 million overseas visitors, and 3.41 million Canadian tourists. And, in 2024, the State of Florida collected billions in sales tax revenue from these tourists.
Governor Ron DeSantis also announced that Florida welcomed 41.2 million visitors in the first quarter of 2025, reinforcing the Free State of Florida’s position as the nation’s top travel destination and a global tourism powerhouse.
“Florida’s tourism industry leads the nation,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “These results are proof that our freedom-first policies work—and that Florida remains the best place to visit, work, and raise a family.” Continue reading
