    About this ebook

    The author of the #1 New York Times bestseller The FairTax Book offers a new look at the fast-growing populist tax reform movement that’s poised to become a key campaign issue for 2008

    In 2005, firebrand radio talk show host Neal Boortz and Georgia congressman John Linder teamed up to create The FairTax Book, the first book devoted to the FairTax movement they had been promoting for years. Riding the growing groundswell of popular support for the tax reform measure, The FairTax Book became an overnight sensation.

    As the election season heats up, Boortz and Linder return to add fuel to the fire with this radical follow-up. Talking back to the critics who have grossly misrepresented the simple principles behind the tax reform measure—which would abolish the IRS and replace it with a 23 percent retail sales tax on all new goods and services—Boortz and Linder:

    • Debunk myths about the tax and answer critical charges—that it would bankrupt the economy, that it would leave poor people in the lurch, that the math doesn’t work

    • Offer new insights into aspects of the plan not originally covered

    • Show the American voter that there’s still hope of replacing our currently outdated, corrupt,and punitive income tax system with a simple plan that will revolutionize the way American pays for itself.

      It answers all the questions critics had after the first book. Let's keep our fingers crossed that our country will move closer to this better tax system.
    • 4/5
      If you want to know what the creators of the fair tax say, read this book.
    • 5/5
      This book is the follow up the "Fairtax Book" by Neal Boortz. It answers the critics and points out how you can answer them as well.Join the FairTax revolution...
    • 4/5
      Good sequel book to the first (which is amazing). Answers a lot of questions in detail, and gives good statistics and such, though I must admit I don't like the sarcastic writing style. I love Boortz's show, but not the right feel for a tax plan that could turn America back into the dominant country we know it can be.
