Tell Congress: Pass the Fair Tax Act of 2017!
Messages Sent So Far
The current federal income tax system is clearly broken — unfair, overly complex, and almost impossible for most Americans to understand.
But there is a reasonable, nonpartisan alternative before Congress that is both fair and easy to understand. A system that allows you to keep your whole paycheck and only pay taxes on what you spend.
It's called the FairTax. Introduced in the U.S. House and Senate as H.R. 25 and S. 18, respectively, The FairTax is a national sales tax that treats every person equally and allows American businesses to thrive, while generating the same tax revenue as the current four-million-word-plus tax code... and without the I.R.S.
The Fair Tax Act of 2017 is the only tax replacement plan before the U.S. Congress that:
- Eliminates all federal income and payroll taxes including personal, gift, estate, capital gains, alternative minimum, Social Security/Medicare, self-employment and corporate.
- Eliminates the need for businesses and individuals to file federal income tax returns.
- Eliminates over 74,000 pages of Internal Revenue Code and the estimated $350 billion in annual compliance costs.
- Defunds, disbands and eliminates the Internal Revenue Service.
- Favors American businesses and workers over foreign corporation, and dramatically increases the rate of economic growth and job creation.
- Brings American jobs back to America and generates employment opportunities for the hundreds of thousands of chronically unemployed.
- Repeals the 16th Amendment and direct taxation through companion legislation.
Take action and tell your U.S. Representative and Senators to co-sponsor the Fair Tax Act of 2017. Add your name in the fields below to proceed to send your no-cost letters.

I have just reviewed the 2017 GOP tax plan and find it in NO way preferable or superior the FairTax (HR25 & SB18). I heartily urge my Representative Steve Womack the other Representatives of Arkansas Bruce Westerman, French Hill, Rick Crawford and Arkansas's Senators John Boozman and Tom Cotton to Support a Tax plan which will bring jobs back to America and significantly boost our economy.

With this current administration this is a true tax break for Americans and business. Please approve this instead of the Republican plan which just makes the wealthy more wealthy.

Eliminating the IRS will save billions of tax dollars. And save taxpayers time and money wasted on filling. Stress reduction with savings.

Please consider this instead of the currently proposed tax bill. We need real change, not tweaks to the current system.

The FairTax would be the catalyst to generate a revolving wheel of revenue for the US Treasury and a continuous stimulus for the economy. The FairTax would give individuals the the freedom to pay into the FairTax as we spend money and credit accessible to us. The FairTax would remove all the burdens, waste, fraud, stress, debt, questions of the current tax systems. I would say the cost referencing the prior sentence is well over a half trillion dollars and that is for just a year's worth of savings. I just see so many benefits from replacing the current Income Tax system with the FairTax.

If you can't understand how the current tax system is broken, then it is patently clear you are completely out of touch with the constituents you claim to represent. You have already highjacked the new plan with cries of "Oh!!! The 1%, the 1%!! Honestly, if that's all you morons can focus on, you aren't seeing the forest for the trees. In your hatred of the 1% (oh which most of you Congressional people are members) you continually screw John Q Public Instead, why not put your efforts and votes behind something that would really stimulate this economy and country. Vote for the Fairtax because frankly, I getting awfully tired of putting $5.00 in my pocket but when I go to pay for a damn cup of coffee, Uncle Sam has already had his hand in there and taken the majority of that $5.00 bill. Do something right, for Pete's sake, for the people of this country. Pass the Fairtax.

Enough of the progressive tax system where those at the top pay the vast majority of the taxes and those at the bottom receive more than they paid in. Too many rules and regulations make for a bloated unfair system. It's past time for the FairTax.

There are more consumers than income earners. The FairTax makes more sense. It's the only tax reform I'll support.

Preparing a speech on a nonprofit organization for my college speech class, the rebuttal for what about poor people led me to a realization. There is no “We the People of the United States” (The Preamble to the U.S. Constitution) and never has been “We the People” is a fallacy. In order for it to be true we would all have to vote for the same person. “We the People” only includes the winning elected representative of some voting citizens. But there could be an actual "We the People of the United States" if all people were taxed equally without discrimination and an insane tax code. Go FairTax!
