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.

Still another fluff article on the Alleged FairTax Act of 2023

"Thanks to some positive feedback on my recent piece, I have decided to dig deeper into the Fair Tax Act of 2023. The Reader's Digest version of the act is that it eliminates federal corporate and individual income tax, payroll taxes that fund Social Security and Medicare, estate tax and gift tax."
Of course, the author never really points out how the alleged fairtax actually establishes a new 23% federal tax which is in addition to Congress still maintaining the power to lay and collect taxes calculated from profits, gains, salaries and other "incomes".
FairTax Co-sponsors avoid defending its Family Consumption Allowance entitlement
I’m still waiting for one Republican House member who supports the FairTax Act to exhibit the courage of their belief and explain why they embrace creating a new Federal entitlement called the Family Consumption Allowance.
Why is it that not one of the twenty-five FairTax Act’s Co-Sponsors willing to publicly explain why they are so eager to create this new federal entitlement, and make approximately 40 million American citizens dependent upon our federal government for a monthly and rationed supply of tax-free necessities of life? Is their silence not suspicious to say the least?
