WHAT IS FAIRTAX?

The FairTax plan is a comprehensive proposal that replaces all federal income
and payroll based taxes with an integrated approach including a progressive
national retail sales tax, a prebate to ensure no American pays federal taxes
on spending up to the poverty level, dollar-for-dollar federal revenue
replacement, and, through companion legislation, the repeal of the
16th Amendment.

This non-partisan legislation (HR 25/S 1025) abolishes all federal
personal and corporate income taxes, gift, estate, capital gains, alternative
minimum, Social Security, Medicare, self-employment taxes and replaces
them with one simple, visible, federal retail sales tax administered
primarily by existing state sales tax authorities. The IRS is disbanded and
defunded. The FairTax taxes us only on what we choose to spend on new
goods or services, not on what we earn. The FairTax is a fair, efficient,
transparent, and intelligent solution to the and inequity of our current tax system.
