	What Is the FairTax? - by - The Heartland Institute
		The FairTax, pending in Congress as HR 25 and S 1493, is a non-partisan proposal that would abolish all federal income taxes, including payroll, self-employment, alternative minimum, income, capital gains, corporate, and death taxes, replacing them with a simple, visible, federal sales tax.
		FairTax advocates say it is a fair, efficient, and intelligent solution to the frustration and inequity of our current tax system, which particularly burdens poor Americans and fixed-income retirees.
		The FairTax proposal includes specific protections for those Americans, including ending the narrow, regressive Social Security tax, ending income taxes, and beginning a rebate to zero all federal taxes for Americans (with a legal Social Security number) whose annual incomes are less than poverty level.

	FairTax - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The FairTax Book, co-authored by Neal Boortz and John Linder, was published on August 2, 2005, as a tool to increase public support for the FairTax Plan.
		The current FairTax legislation was introduced by Linder in the House and by Georgia Republican Senator Saxby Chambliss in the Senate.
		Under the FairTax, households would receive a monthly tax rebate (known as a "prebate" as it would be paid in advance) equal to the estimated total FairTax paid on poverty level spending according to the poverty guidelines published by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

	Fairtax / Withholding Tax / Federal Government
		The FairTax, H.R. 25, introduced into Congress by Rep. John Linder of Georgia and co-sponsored by more than 20 members of Congress, is a non-partisan proposal that will abolish not only withholding, but all federal income taxes, including capital gains taxes, all payroll taxes, estate and fit taxes, and corporate and self-employment taxes.
		The FairTax allows workers to keep their entire paycheck, closes all tax loopholes, frees individuals from filing tax returns, abolishes the IRS, eliminates all hidden federal taxes, and allows every family to by basic necessities tax-free.
		If the FairTax sounds too good to be true, turn to the words of Alexander Hamilton, the founder of our monetary system and a supporter of consumption taxes.

		Should the FairTax be given around ten years to work miracles, it is also likely that Americans will be anywhere from 10 to 15 percent better off than they would be under the current system, meaning that the average household would probably garner an average increase between $2,000 to $3,500 per year.
		Because the FairTax is progressive, the larger the government, the larger the rate, and likewise, the shrinking of the government would cause the tax rate to fall.
		In summary, `The FairTax Book' is sure to appeal to the interests any American in the workforce who has ever endured the pressure of doing their taxes, paying them, or dealing with the IRS, and disliked it intensely.

	The FairTax: A Trojan Horse for America?, By Claire Wolfe & Aaron Zelman
		Once again, although the FairTaxers dispute most of Bartlett's claims on their website, they make no attempt to refute the basic fact: their “23 percent” is really 30 percent, under the rosiest possible scenario.
		First of all, the FairTax, since it is a tax on consumption, will make the underground economy, which is not paying any income tax, subject to taxation.
		What the FairTaxers don't tell you is that it would do so by making one enormous class of goods cost 30 percent more than competing goods.

		While the FairTax will make federal taxes very, very obvious (and easy for taxpayers to control themselves), there is no intention to give large groups any break over what they are paying now, nor to burden another group.
		When we move to the FairTax, the overall cost of raising the same federal revenue is reduced by some 90 percent.
		Under the FairTax, we estimate there will be some 20 million retail sales tax returns to state sales tax collection agencies, where an estimated 90 percent of sales taxes are collected by eight percent of retailers.

	The Fair Tax Fraud - Mises Institute
		But like the calls for "fair trade" instead of "free trade," the FairTax is a fraud because it is based on the fallacy that government theft (taxation) should be done in a "fair" manner instead of eliminated altogether.
		However, all H.R. 25 does is repeal Subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that relates to income taxes and self-employment taxes and Subtitle C that relates to payroll taxes and the withholding of income taxes.
		Under the FairTax plan, everyone pays the 23 percent tax on everything, but "every household receives a rebate that is equal to the FairTax paid on essential goods and services." The rebate is given out each month, and is based on family size and the poverty level.

		In my humble yet loud opinion, the panel was a complete waste of time and produced no viable suggestions for any reasonable legislator to consider. I shouldn't be surprised that a government panel produced incredible waste without getting anything done, but still, I am.
		The FairTax proposal is not off the table, I have to remind you. The results of this panel were only a suggestion.
		The FairTax faithful had hopes that this panel would endorse the plan for a national sales tax. Instead they decided to pass it over.

	Paul J. Gessing on FairTax, Tax Reform, Inez Tenenbaum, and Jim DeMint on NRO Financial
		Advocates of the “FairTax” plan, including DeMint and more than fifty of his House and Senate colleagues, are not supporting higher taxes or a “new” tax.
		Thus, the immediate impact of implementing the FairTax will be an improved standard of living for all Americans and, with a lot of paper-shuffling out of the way, will mean that people will have more time to spend with family and in productive work.
		Tenenbaum and Democratic critics of the FairTax are simply being disingenuous in labeling Jim DeMint a “tax hiker.” Rep. DeMint has proven himself to be a great friend of taxpayers, having received “A” grades on the National Taxpayers Union’s comprehensive fiscal scorecard in four of his five years in office.

		With the FairTax, there’ll be no need to hide their money from the taxman.
		One may be skeptical of these numbers, but once folks fully understand the FairTax proposal, the only people who will oppose it are those who are either a) benefiting unfairly from the complicated tax code, or b) the politicians that serve and are served by them.
		According to Congressman John Linder, R-Ga., sponsor of the bill, “the FairTax has attracted more co-sponsors than any other fundamental tax reform bill introduced in the House of Representatives.” We should lament the fact that Linder is a Republican, because this is an idea that is maturing.
