Tax Reform

The IRS has become nothing more than a political weapon, used to target, control, and punish hardworking Americans. It’s time to put an end to it once and for all. The solution is the FAIRtax Act.

The FAIRtax replaces the tangled web of personal income taxes, corporate taxes, payroll taxes, and every other hidden tax buried in your Form 1040 with a single, transparent national sales tax on new retail goods and services. It’s simple, fair, and honest.

Under the FAIRtax, every American citizen and legal permanent resident receives a monthly prebate to untax poverty-level spending, protecting the working class while ensuring everyone pays their fair share when they buy new goods. It will also tax the underground economy, including illegal labor, while encouraging massive foreign investment that will bring jobs and industry back to America.

The IRS would be eliminated. The federal government audits the states, the states audit retailers, and consumers are never audited. That’s the way a free country should operate, accountability without intrusion.

Our Founding Fathers understood the dangers of unchecked taxation. As Alexander Hamilton wrote in Federalist No. 21, “The complete power to levy taxes is the most vital principle of government,” but it must always remain under the watchful eye of the people. The Anti-Federalists warned even more sharply that “taxation is the power most liable to abuse and oppression.” Both sides agreed: taxation must never become a tool of tyranny.

The FAIRtax restores that balance. It lets Americans keep what they earn, strengthens economic freedom, and removes the corrupt bureaucracy that has turned the IRS into a weapon against the people.

It’s time to abolish the IRS and return power where it belongs, to the American taxpayer.
