FAIRtax Power Radio#468 Reasons the FAIRtax Fails - Part 2Last week, the FAIRtax Guys began looking at a video from an investment advisor listing his top ten reasons that the FAIRtax is a bad idea.

FAIRtax Power Radio#467 Reasons the FAIRtax Fails - Part 1Not long ago, a listener pointed us to a YouTube video from an investment advisor listing his top ten reasons that the FAIRtax fails us. As we suspected, they were largely extrapolations from someone whose business would be adversely affected if the FAIRtax was enacted.Still, the Guys thought this could be a teachable moment for anyone who might be hearing and actually considering these knocks on the FAIRtax. So tonight, the FAIRtax Guys begin a multi-part series pointing out why “The Top Ten Reasons that the FAIRtax Fails” are actually failures themselves.2025-04-1628 min
FAIRtax Power Radio#447 Trump and the FAIRtaxPresident Trump’s re-election gives us the best chance we’ve ever had to pass the FAIRtax. This is the first time in history that a US President is on record as wanting to abolish the income tax. We may not get another golden opportunity like this in our lifetime.This week, AFFT president Steve Hayes joins the FAIRtax Guys to discuss what a second Trump administration means for the FAIRtax and what we as grass roots FAIRtax supporters can do to help bring this historic shift in power from the government to the people to fruition.2024-11-2031 min
FAIRtax Power Radio#443 The FAIRtax and Low Income TaxpayersIt’s an objection we hear over and over again—"Sales taxes are regressive. The FAIRtax will be a huge tax break for the rich and it will hurt the poor.” That may be true for typical sales taxes, but the FAIRtax is NOT like other sales taxes.This week the FAIRtax Guys dig into the research library at fairtax.org and discuss an article written by economist Dr. Karen Walby. Dr. Walby shows conclusively that while the FAIRtax does indeed benefit those with higher incomes, it’s those at the lower end of the economic scale that benefit the2024-10-2330 min
FAIRtax Power Radio#433 The FAIRtax Book - Part 11The FAIRtax would represent a seismic shift in the paradigm of how taxes are collected in this country. Consequently, there are bound to be questions and criticisms regarding how the FAIRtax would work and the impact it would have on the American taxpayer. Some are honest, some are rooted in a vested interest in keeping the current income tax system.This week, the FAIRtax Guys conclude their journey through Boortz and Linder’s original FAIRtax book by covering some of the questions and objections noted in Chapter 15.2024-08-1430 min
FAIRtax Power Radio#430 The FAIRtax Book - Part 8Since the FAIRtax was introduced into Congress in 1999, one thing has remained consistent. Economists from both sides of the aisle have been nearly unanimous in their agreement that a consumption tax like the FAIRtax would be much better for the economy than an income tax.This week, the FAIRtax Guys examine chapter 11 of the FAIRtax book in which Boortz and Linder look at what happens to the American economy on the day the FAIRtax replaces the income tax. They also take a brief look at chapter 12 which details where opposition to the FAIRtax will come from.2024-07-2429 min
FAIRtax Power Radio#428 The FAIRtax Book - Part 6The FAIRtax is unlike any other sales tax on the planet in that it does not tax every dollar someone spends.

Enter the FAIRtax prebate.This week, the FAIRtax Guys discuss the most important chapter in the FAIRtax book—Chapter 9, the prebate. This amazing feature is what makes the FAIRtax a fair tax by ensuring that no one pays the tax on the purchase of basic necessities.2024-07-1030 min

FAIRtax Power Radio#403 Why Democrats Should Support the FAIRtaxAFFT president Steve Hayes’ testimony before the House Ways and Means subcommittee on taxation was largely political theater. Both sides used the occasion to advance their own talking points—Republicans touting the success of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and Democrats attacking the FAIRtax at every turn. Still, two Democratic Congressmen, John Larson of Connecticut and Danny Davis seemed willing to put the partisanship aside and take a look at the merits of the FAIRtax plan. That’s encouraging.If more Democrats would be willing to take an honest look at the FAIRtax, they’ll find that there’s...2024-01-1029 min
FAIRtax Power Radio#402 State of the FAIRtax 20242023 had promised to be a watershed year for the FAIRtax. In order to secure the Speakership of the House, Kevin McCarthy had to promise to bring the FAIRtax up for a vote—something that hasn’t happened since the FAIRtax was first introduced into Congress in 1999. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen, and Kevin McCarthy is no longer Speaker. It remains to be seen whether or not Speaker Mike Johnson will honor the promise that McCarthy made and allow the FAIRtax to be voted on in this session of Congress.So, as 2024 begins, the FAIRtax Guys take a look at the...2024-01-0329 min

FAIRtax Power Radio#391 The FAIRtax and HealthcareThere is a lot of good information at fairtax.org regarding what the FAIRtax is, how it works, and what kind of impact it will have on the economy and on our lives.

FAIRtax Power Radio#390 Brookings Looks at the FAIRtaxThis past March after the FAIRtax had been promised a vote in the House of Representatives, Brookings Institute, a long time member of the Washington establishment, published an article supposedly analyzing the FAIRtax. Like many others before it, Brookings had to twist the FAIRtax into something it isn’t in order to muster and argument against it. Like many others before it, the article was full of opinion presented as fact.In this edition of FAIRtax Power Radio, the FAIRtax Guys examine the Brookings article and once again, set the FAIRtax record straight.2023-10-1130 min
FAIRtax Power Radio#372 Democrats Should Love the FAIRtaxThe FAIRtax has always been a non-partisan idea. You don’t have to subscribe to a particular political ideology or belong to a particular party to appreciate getting a bigger paycheck, never having to file another tax return and getting a tax refund every month. Still, for some reason, the Democratic Party remains solidly opposed to the FAIRtax.That’s unfortunate, because the FAIRtax addresses many of the issues that the party claims to care about. Using a research paper published on fairtax.org, the FAIRtax Guys go through several points on which the FAIRtax is right in line...2023-06-0730 min

FAIRtax Power Radio#360 USA Today Looks at the FAIRtaxWhen Kevin McCarthy promised that the FAIRtax would get an up or down vote in the 118th Congress, it sparked a surge of interest in the media on what the FAIRtax is and how it would work.

This week, the FAIRtax Guys look at a FAIRtax article that was recently published in USA Today.2023-03-1530 min
FAIRtax Power Radio#359 The FAIRtax is Good for the Working PoorIf there’s one lie about the FAIRtax that never seems to go away and keeps getting repeated over and over again, it’s that the FAIRtax is regressive and will harm lower income workers.

FAIRtax Power Radio#326 What Makes the FAIRtax a Fair TaxTaxes are as old as civilized society itself. There have been thousands of different tax systems throughout history, and they all have one thing in common—a significant number of people affected by them believe them to be unfair. That’s certainly the case with the income tax in the United States. The Internal Revenue Code is a hopeless labyrinth of exemptions, exceptions, deductions and credits that some people get and others don’t. And the rules change every year.In this episode of FAIRtax Power Radio, the FAIRtax Guys take a look at some of the characteristics that m...2022-07-2029 min
Grassroots CornerDan Bongino Reaffirms His Support for the FAIRtaxTalk show host Dan Bongino was recently asked what he thought about the FAIRtax. Like many of us, he thinks it's the best system out there, but he has some reservations about whether or not we can actually get it passed.

FAIRtax Power Radio#314 Electing FAIRtax CandidatesUnless you have a mountain of campaign cash to contribute to a politician, it can be really hard to get that politician’s attention and convince him/her to support the FAIRtax. Currently, the FAIRtax bill has 29 cosponsors in the House. Adding in the primary sponsor, that’s 30 FAIRtax supporters out of 435 House members. A FAIRtax bill hasn’t even been introduced in the Senate in this Congress. Clearly, getting politicians on board with the FAIRtax after they’ve been elected is a tall order indeed.The lesson here is clear. FAIRtax volunteers should be a lot less focused...2022-04-2737 min

Steve Hayes sums it all up in this week's Chairman's Report.2021-12-1009 minChairman's ReportBudget Reconciliation and How it May Help Pass the FAIRtaxSome people believe that it will be extremely difficult to pass the FAIRtax in the Senate because normal Senate rules require 60 votes to end debate on a measure and bring it up for a vote. Therefore, a minority of just 41 Senators could block the FAIRtax in the Senate. However, in this week's Chairman's Report, Steve Hayes discusses a special Senate procedure called budget reconciliation under which the FAIRtax could pass with just 51 votes.2021-12-0510 min

Any time you buy a product or service, a portion of what you pay for that product or service ends up at the IRS as the seller's income tax.

We agree. It is arguably the most regressive Federal tax on the books. Getting rid of the payroll tax has been a feature of the FAIRtax from day one. So, the President is really advocating for one of the principal features of the FAIRtax. Since the FAIRtax accomplishes something the President is on record as wanting to do, we just have to convince him that enacting the FAIRtax is really the best way to accomplish it.2020-09-1806 min
