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

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?
If so, the FairTax is for you!

A smash #1 New York Times bestseller from the moment it went on sale, The FairTax Book launched a massive grassroots movement across the country with its dramatic call to rid Americans of the punishing burden of income tax. Talk-radio firebrand Neal Boortz and Congressman John Linder are leading the charge to replace the current tax system with the FairTax -- a simple 23 percent retail sales tax on new goods and services that would eliminate the reviled IRS and replace it with a system that's fair to all -- while jump-starting the U.S. economy, bringing businesses and jobs back to our shores, and recapturing billions of untaxed dollars currently lost to criminal and offshore businesses. Americans would get to keep 100 percent of their hard-earned paycheck . . . and April 15 would become just another beautiful spring day.

Endorsed by scores of leading economists -- and gaining momentum in both the House and the Senate -- the FairTax Plan could revolutionize the way America pays for itself. Here -- revised and updated, with a new afterword by the authors -- is the straight-talking book that started it all.

That would be the headline for the economic turnaround that the United States would enjoy if we enacted The Fair Tax. Are you tired of corporate scandals and having your pay check ravaged by taxes. Both are gone with The Fair Tax. Corporations pass all of their tax burden on to the end consumer anyway, so why not enact a system that eliminates corporate taxes? And if anyone tells you that The Fair Tax places a burden on "the poor", they don't know what they are talking about. The Fair Tax assists "the poor" more than anyone else by providing a "prebate" check each month to cover the tax cost associated with the necessities of life. Do youself and your country a favor and read The Fair Tax book - then decide.

I enthusiastically went online to buy this book after hearing about it on the radio. However, when ordering, I read a critical 8/14/06 reader review below. After reading this person's review, I thought that I should read this book a little more carefully than I otherwise might have. Unfortunately, it appears that the 8/14 reviewer's remarks were either factually correct (where applicable) or seem to be reasonable observations. As a result, I'm afraid that I can't comfortably recommend this book. However, I'd encourage those who do read the book to carefully compare its contents with the points made in the detailed August 14, 2006 reader review from C. O'Connor.
