The Lady Savages track team
placed third in a field of 22 teams

Konawa track meet. Scoring 60
team points, the Ladies placed
behind the winner, Coalgate, and
second place Holdenville.
The Savages scored 22 points to
place tenth.
over saving - saving that is needed
to spur economic growth, which
creates more jobs. Most economists
agree that a consumption tax is less
costly and more efficient than an
income tax. Simply put, that’s why
I support the FairTax and that’s
why other economists endorsed my
letter.”
Tom Wright added. "The income
and payroll tax systems are job-
destroying travesties. Not only does
the American public have the
political will to replace them, the
Fair Tax plan is viable (ask Texas
and Florida), historically proven
(ask the Phoenicians), acceptable
(ask American voters), and now.

Tom Wright concluded. “FairTax
org is a grassroots organization.
Nearly 50,000 really active
volunteers across the country are
rallying behind the FairTax bill for
various reasons. HR 25/S25 is the
answer for our income and payroll
tax burden it is open, accountable,
simple to understand, and fair to all
Americans." No loopholes, no
exceptions, and no American pays
any federal taxes - hidden or
obvious - up to poverty level
consumption. This letter is an
historic milestone for the FairTax
concept. It coincides nicely with
Federal Reserve Chairman
Greenspan’s comments and the
good words by esteemed economist
Milton Friedman when testifying
before the President’s tax reform
panel in favor of consumption
taxation. We believe after more
than a decade of work over, $22
million dollars and hundreds of
thousands of volunteer actions, our
time is coming and the American
people are fast becoming ready for
the full tax replacement alternative
the FairTax.”

of 3:37.59.
None of the Savages’ 22 team

Over 75 economists nationwide
endorsed the FairTax in a letter
delivered to the House, Senate,
Treasury, tax reform panel and the
President last week. Tom Wright,
executive director of FairTax, org,
stated. "Nearly seven months ago
an idea was born in the mind of a
FairTax supporter who is an
economics professor at the
University of Virginia’s College at
Wise. He wants the broad public to
know just how many economists
have examined and recommend the
FairTax plan. That idea became a
project that has finally come to
fruition. Over 75 economists, one
of whom is a Nobel Prize winner,
have now endorsed, specifically, the
FairTax, HR25 and S25, in
writing. We call this a direct
validation of our more than $22
million in academic and market
research completed over the past 10
years. This economist endorsement
letter was delivered to the offices of
every single tax aide on Capitol
Hill. We also made sure the
President, his tax panel, and
Treasury Secretary Snow had a
copy. This letter further evidences
the fact that Americans realize the
inefficiencies of the current system
and see the FairTax, HR25 and
S25, as the proper replacement.”
David L. Kendalll, PhD
Professor of Economics and
Finance from the University of
Virginia’s College at Wise, stated,
“I support the Fair Tax - and I asked
other economists to join me with
their support - for a very simple
reason: The FairTax offers
Americans substantial and very real
advantages over the income tax
system we have now. Our federal
income tax system is inefficient, far
too costly, and simply not the best
way to pay for government I think
all Americans are dismayed,
outraged, and disgusted that our
federal tax code contains millions of
eye-glazing words spread across
more than 60,000 pages. We all
know it’s a disgrace, and we all
know it must be changed. Like
most economists, I know that our
income tax system slows economic

endorsed by economists nationwide.
The FairTax offers long-needed
simplicity, efficiency, and fairness
to all Americans by eliminating the
income and payroll taxes.
Laurence Kotlikoff, Ph.D.. chair
of the economists department at
Boston University, and co-author of
The Coining Generational Storm,
has stated “Our tax code is a mess
for a reason. Special interests pay
for special favors. And with
thousands of pages and counting,
there are plenty of places for our
politicians to hide the kickbacks.
Meanwhile, all the exemptions,
deductions, exceptions and special
provisions reduce the tax base,
which means higher tax rates and
smaller incentives for individuals
and companies to produce income.
And whether the tax breaks are set
in fine print or spelled out in bold
type, they generally favor the rich,
making our tax system less
progressive than is generally
believed. No tax system is perfect,
but ours is so awful that
fundamental reform is the only
option. Fundamental reform is not
just a necessity, it’s also an
opportunity to stop taxing income
and start taxing consumption. My
colleagues and I have been studying
income and consumption taxation
via computer simulations tor some
time now We’ve found that
switching from taxing wage and
capital income to taxing
consumption can significantly
improve economic efficiency and
growth. What’s more, it can make
our tax system much more
progressive and generationally
equitable Fundamental tax reform
is long overdue Consumption
taxation is the way to go.”
Dr. James Kenderdine, professor
Emeritus of Marketing and Supply
Chain Management, Michael F.
Price College of Business, The
University of Oklahoma, is coming
to Davis on Thursday, April 28.
Dr. Kenderdine will talk to the area
chambers of commerce, retail store
owners, managers, employees and
all others who might be interested
in ways to compete in today’s
marketplace and learn how to find
your “niche" to compete with larger
retailers.
