See: FactCheck.org Calls Out Biden and Dems for Lying About “FAIR Tax” Viability

1/30/23

FactCheck.org has called out President Biden, Chuck Schumer and the rest of the Democrats lying about the viability of the “Fair Tax,” a 30% national sales tax (not even including state and local sales taxes) that would create a new entitlement program and lead to a European-style Value Added Tax:

The bottom line is, as confirmed by the above article, the FairTax Act is a very, very bad idea and would enlarge our federal Governments taxing capabilities and it certainly does not have “Widespread GOP Support”.


In fact, there is only a handful of Republicans who support the alleged FairTax.



The only reasonable explanation I can think of as to why Rep. Buddy Carter has latched onto the so-called FairTax is, that he has not studied the text of the Bill himself and is relying on one or more of his lazy staff members representations of H.R. 25 which they may have gotten from the propaganda and misrepresentations found at the fairtax web site, or in the fair tax book authored by Neal Boortz and Congressman John Linder, both of whom have done a disservice to working on real tax reform.
