    About this ebook

    Wouldn’t you love to abolish the IRS . . .Keep all the money in your paycheck . . .Pay taxes on what you spend, not what you earn . . .And eliminate all the fraud, hassle, and waste of our current system?

    Then the FairTax is for you. 

    In the face of the outlandish American tax burden, talk-radio firebrand Neal Boortz and Congressman John Linder are leading the charge to phase out our current, unfair system and enact the FairTax Plan-replacing the federal income tax and withholding system with a simple 23 percent retail sales tax. This dramatic revision of the current system, which would eliminate the reviled IRS, has already caught fire in the American heartland, with more than 600,000 taxpayers signing on in support of the plan.

    As Boortz and Linder reveal in this first book on the FairTax, this radical but eminently sensible plan would end the annual national nightmare of filing income tax returns, while at the same time enlarging the federal tax base by collecting sales tax from every retail consumer in the country. The FairTax, they argue, would transform the fearsome bureaucracy of the IRS into a more transparent, accountable—and equitable—tax collection system. Endorsed by scores of leading economists—and supported by a huge and growing grassroots movement—the FairTax Plan could revolutionize the way America pays for itself.

      The Fair Tax Book covers the advantages and the process of instituting a national fair sales tax. For an introductory reader on the subject, the book will really help you gain insight into why we need a fair sales tax (or why we don’t need the current system of taxing that we have). I love the concept of a national sales tax instead of income taxes, corporate taxes, property taxes, etc.The reason why I only gave this book a 3-star rating (instead of a 5) was because I felt that it was a little redundant towards the end, and there were a few problems with some of the arguments. For the most part, I think that the authors did an excellent job, but I don’t feel like they needed to exagerrate the facts or continually repeat key points in order to win people over. Overall, I would recommend this book as a resourceful read for those interested in learning a little more about our tax code and the problems with it.
    • 5/5
      This book is a great read, and a must for anyone who wants to be informed about how our current tax code is corrupt, and how we can fix it.
    • 5/5
      Here is a tax policy that is thoroughly researched, treats everyone fairly, would encourage savings and investment, and gets rid of the IRS! What more could you ask for...Here you have a tax proposal that not only simplifies the tax code, but could actually make the USA the number location for manufacturing. Gets rid of all payroll, income taxes, and inheritance, and replaces with a simple national sales tax. This proposal would also completely untax the poor by providing a prebate on all taxes for spending up to the poverty level of each household.I highly recommend it this book!!!!!

      This is a pretty interesting read. It gets rather redundant towards the end, it almost feels like the author is trying to pound their message into you.
