District history

Georgia gained two seats after the 2000 census, but the Georgia state legislature produced a map intended to produce a congressional delegation of seven Democrats and six Republicans. Linder and fellow Republican Bob Barr were drawn into a heavily Republican district that, while retaining Barr's district number (the 7th), contained more of the territory Linder had represented in what had been the 4th District from 1993 to 1997 and the 11th District since 1997. Linder handily defeated Barr in the 2002 Republican primary, all but assuring him of a sixth term. Linder ran unopposed in 2004. In 2006, he was re-elected in his district with just over 70% of the vote.[3] This article is about the year 2000. ...

Linder first introduced the FairTax Bill in July 1999 to the 106th United States Congress. He has reintroduced substantially the same bill in each subsequent session of Congress. While the bill attracted a total of 54 House co-sponsors in 2003 and 55 in 2005, it has not been voted on by the U.S. House Committee on Ways and Means.[5][6] Its formal name is the Fair Tax Act of 2005. The bill is supported by Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert, but has not received support from the Democratic leadership.[7] However, Linder's legislation has attracted more cosponsors than any other fundamental tax reform bill introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives. // Leadership Senate House of Representatives States Members of the 106th United States Congress: Alabama Senators Richard C.

Some have criticized Linder, Neal Boortz, and Americans For Fair Taxation for the way that they have presented the FairTax plan. The most common critique is the presented FairTax rate of a 23% sales tax on the total transaction value of new retail goods and services purchases; consumers pay to the government 23 cents of every dollar spent (sometimes called tax inclusive).[4] However, American sales taxes have historically been expressed as a percentage of the original sale price (sometimes called tax exclusive): items priced at $100 pre-tax cost $130 with the tax added.[8] The use of the tax inclusive number in presenting the rate has been criticized as deceptive and by some as a "lie".[8] However, Linder argues that the 23% number represents a better comparison to income tax rates.[4] If you are in a 25% income tax bracket, you will pay $25 in federal income taxes out every $100 you earn. With the 23% FairTax, you would pay $23 in taxes out of every $100 you spend. This is also how the legislation is written - as an inclusive tax.[2] Image File history File links FairTaxBook. ...

Non-disclosed travel

Linder has also been criticized for omitting a trip paid for by a client of lobbyist Jack Abramoff from travel disclosure forms, even though he declared it on his personal income filings. "Linder should have filed a travel form shortly after his trip and could have corrected it when when he belatedly filed for other trips last year. Failing to properly report sponsored travel is a violation of House rules."[9] Lobbying is the practice of private advocacy with the goal of influencing a governing body, in order to ensure that an individuals or organizations point of view is represented in the government. ...
