The Fair Tax Book: Saying Goodbye to the Income Tax and the IRS

#1 New York Times–Bestseller: A revolutionary proposal to make taxes simpler and fairer—and eliminate the IRS.

Wouldn't you love to abolish the IRS . . . Keep all the money in your paycheck . . . Pay taxes on what you spend, not what you earn . . . And eliminate all the fraud, hassle, and waste of our current system?

Then the FairTax is for you.

In the face of the outlandish American tax burden, talk-radio firebrand Neal Boortz and Congressman John Linder are leading the charge to phase out our current unfair system and enact the FairTax Plan—replacing the federal income tax and withholding system with a simple 23 percent retail sales tax.

As Boortz and Linder reveal, this radical but eminently sensible plan would end the annual national nightmare of filing income tax returns, while at the same time enlarging the federal tax base by collecting sales tax from every retail consumer in the country. The FairTax, they argue, would transform the fearsome bureaucracy of the IRS into a more transparent, accountable—and equitable—tax collection system. Endorsed by scores of leading economists—and supported by a huge and growing grassroots movement—the FairTax Plan could revolutionize the way America pays for itself.
