MESSAGE TO CONGRESSMAN LUCAS FROM STEVE HUTCHINSON
Today’s Grassroots Corner comes from Steve Hutchinson of Stillwater, Oklahoma. Steve wrote his Congress Member, Frank Lucas, who represents Oklahoma’s Third Congressional District and was a cosponsor of the FAIRtax in previous Congresses. It would be terrific if we could get him back on the bill in 2025.
Steve wrote:
“Subject: HR25 The Fair Tax
“Hello Congressman Lucas,
“I want you to cosponsor the HR25 Fair Tax bill. We should switch from income tax to consumption tax where everybody pays based upon what they purchase.
“The prebate that is in the Fair Tax is like the standard deduction and it helps households with basic goods and services. The prebate and standard deduction are alike, but opposite, think about two sides of the same coin.
“Get rid of the bloated income tax code with its carve-outs. Now there is discussion of No Tax On Tips, No Senior SS Tax, and so on. We all spend so much time and money "doing our taxes"; it is a tremendous waste.
“I would like a response and an indication of your support of HR25, or not, and why. Thank you!”

Steve is retired and moved to Stillwater, Oklahoma in 2022. He read the FAIRtax books by Neil Boortz and Congressman John Linder and has been a fan ever since. Steve got to meet Mr. Boortz at a book signing shortly after its publication. Steve reports that he is happy to see The FAIRtax trending on X.
We thank Steve for reaching out to his Congress Member and urging him to cosponsor the FAIRtax. We all need to be following Steve’s example. If you send a message or letter to your Congress Member, I would love to share it here on Grassroots Corner.
