For years Bill Frazier has been saying, “Stop exporting our good paying jobs, we must secure our borders, and make certain that only American citizens are eligible to vote. A new tax system must be adopted. Fair Tax, Flat Tax, anything would be better than what we have now; but first we need to abolish the IRS. Today 51% of the taxpayers pay no income tax. We need more people pulling the wagon than are riding.”
