Hi and welcome to my page! My name is Ellery Bennett and I'm glad you decided to stop by!
Let me tell you a little bit about myself and then maybe you'll post a comment and tell my friends and I about yourself.
Seriously. I really would love the opportunity to meet and learn more about you.
I lost both my parents at age four, my oldest brother and his wife brought me up in Detroit, Michigan. But instead of feeling sorry for myself like everyone was telling me I should of been doing, I did my best to keep a positive mindset and make the best of my situation. In hindsight I can see now that the situation made me strong and enabled me to accomplish all kinds of great things in my life.
You see, I learned very early on that achieving success in life is about making choices. When you consistently make the right ones you'll end up where you want to end up.
It's a pretty simple formula really.
Growing up without my parents was tough. But what made it even tougher was the fact there were a lot of drugs in the home I grew up in. We had love there, but drugs were there too. But to this day, I have never smoked anything or taken even a sip of alcohol. Why is that? It's because I wanted something more out of my life (and still do!) and I made the conscious decision to avoid doing what the "in" crowd was doing. As a result I made the National Honor Society in high school; was elected Class President my senior year in H.S.; and was named the captain of the football team I played on.
Had I made the choice to smoke or drink like everyone else I firmly believe I never would of been able to go on and play football at Northwestern University in the Big Ten Conference for four years on a football scholarship.
I had dreams and made conscious decisions that afforded me the opportunity to achieve those dreams.
The three greatest lessons I learned as a collegiate athlete was the benefit of adopting a never give up attitude; the understanding that practice makes a difference; and that putting forth my best effort will almost always put me in a position to realize the goals I have set for myself, no matter how lofty they may seem to be.
As a captain I learned the value of teamwork. I learned that the best way to set the standards I wanted my teammates to play at was to lead by example and perform them myself too. People follow people they believe in and trust. That's something I experienced first hand in football, corporate america and as an entrepreneur.
Why did I take the time to share all that with you?
For starters I shared something about myself in the hopes that you'll respond in kind and share something about yourself.
But also because I want to encourage you to go after whatever dreams you may have. It doesn't matter what you're facing or what circumstances you currently find yourself in either. You can make your dreams come true only if you can believe in them and then start making the decisions you need to in order to make them become reality.
I absolutely promise you that's the truth!
Now that's enough about me. Tell me something about you now by posting below!

The Michigan FairTax plan - a movement started by working, "salt of the earth," Michiganders - is your call to action to enact a rational tax plan that will stop legislators from being able to barter our tax system to pick winners and losers (like providing "tax expenditures" for the MOVIE INDUSTRY) - all at our expense! Our goal is to SCRAP the Michigan income tax because the system is broken. Working together, you and I (there are thousands of us), can get the word out about a fairer, progressive consumption tax - the Michigan FairTax. In order to give Michigan voters the power to choose, we are laying the groundwork for a ballot drive to get the Michigan FairTax on the 2010 general election ballot.
What's more, every Michigan resident-family will receive a monthly "prebate" check, in amount based on family size (.0975 x $ [ poverty level per family size] ). This will ensure that NO Michigan family will EVEN BEGIN paying the MI FairTax on goods / services unless, or until, they exceed poverty-level spending. Thus, the MI FairTax rate would effectively be 0% on all monthly family spending up to the monthly poverty level, thereafter it would be 9.75%. A reasonable average effective rate, inferred, would be about 5.5% (that's without putting anything away!) Monies placed into savings are not available to spend, and therefore would result in a further effective tax rate reduction.

Under a FairTax system, points of collection will be dramatically reduced (from millions of individuals to considerably fewer retailers, many of whom are already collecting sales tax). With a Michigan FairTax, income tax-- returns, audits, interest, and penalites vanish.
Goods prices & service fees carry income / payroll tax compliance costs - "a hidden tax," ultimately paid by us. The FairTax will externalize these costs, making them visible. Michigan exporters will then be able to jettison the FairTax, prior to shipment, making Michigan products more competitive, globally. The MI FairTax is NOT applied to non-retail, business-to-business purchases, as this inseparably embeds taxation costs in prices of finished goods and services.
This plan is revenue neutral, as it-- ends "first fruit" confiscation of wages, stops the practice of hiding consumer taxes in retail prices, makes the true cost of gov't visible, and properly pays for gov't as we meet personal and family needs. Take action! - JOIN OUR TAX REFORM ARMY to bring Michigan back!

Made popular by the federal FairTax bill (H.R. 25, which was either co-sponsored or otherwise endorsed by several 2008 presidential candidates), this approach to taxation reaches across the political spectrum
Why the FairTax idea is right for America's working families.
Dr. Laurence Kotlikoff believes that it will take the FairTax to reverse unfunded U.S. gov't obligations, about
