The FairTax Book: Saying Goodbye to the Income Tax and the IRS
Authors, Neal Boortz & Congressman John Linder
196 pages. ISBN 978-0-06-087549-7
This short book detailing the FairTax was a #1 New York Times Bestseller.
I looked through my library in search of and intending to write a review of a book that offered some solutions to our present problems. I believe this book fits the bill. If we wish to reform our government and reclaim our liberty there can be no more effective way than to remove the easily abused funding method. I have heard many suggestions and objections regarding this option. This book explores and answers them all.
The many seemingly insurmountable financial problems facing us make this option very attractive. From addressing the “Social Security tax, the Medicare tax, corporate income taxes, the death tax, the self-employment tax, the alternative minimum tax, the gift tax, capital gains taxes, tax audits, and some major headaches every April 15” this is the most fair, possible and workable solution. It is not the be all, end all, to all of our problems but it is likely the most effective first step we could take.
What would be the best way to fund our federal government? My preference has little probability of occurring, but this option has some chance of passing and is thus, I believe, the best option considering our present political climate. The proposal is fair; it treats all taxpayers equally and the benefits are manifold. The poor would not pay any more than they do now. The middle class and even the rich would benefit. The only losers are the grafters, special interests and lobbyists who care not that their efforts push the burdens of their successes on the backs of others.
Mr. Boortz and Congressman Linder have written a very important short read for anyone interested in learning about and promoting something that could really help. Mr. Boortz has retired from the radio and Congressman Linder retired from congress in 2011, but their book continues in the effort to promote the proposal.
Do you want to turbo charge our economy? Take back your liberty? Constrain the tyrants? Please read this book and investigate www.FairTax.org for detailed information about the proposal and how you can help. If you find it acceptable, then please urge your representatives in government to support the effort.
Respectfully,
O.A.

Would also keep the pressure on the rate, since everyone would see and be affected by it equally.
Of course, we wouldn't have money for pointless wars, the welfare state or Obamacare - but then, working people would see a 20%-30% salary increase. You don't think THAT would cause the economy to surge?
"The power to tax involves the power to destroy," -- Chief Justice John Marshall
I say we remove from the Feral Government the power to destroy the People.
But it would save literally a minimum of $500 Billion in tax compliance costs every year, and that's just with private companies.
