The talk about fair taxes continues to grow in the Rose City just weeks after the tea party protest held around the country

And one man is on a mission to tell people about other options. The Fair Tax Act would essentially get rid of federal income taxes. It would in turn charge consumers a higher tax on everyday retail items--allowing tax payers to keep all of their gross income from their paychecks.

John Layton, Thomasville Fair Tax Organizer says, "Sure everyone would like to have all their money. When you take your pay check and you look at it and see how much money is taken out it's like wow, I would love to have that money in my pocket."

Layton has started a letter writing campaign and is gaining support all over town. He will continue to host a series of meetings to inform residents about how much money he thinks the fair tax act would save them.
