About this title: Veteran talk-radio host and self-described libertarian Neal Boortz, along with Congressman John Linder, proposes an alternative to what both the left and the right agree is a very flawed tax system: a sales-tax-based system, which would, if set at 23% across the board, meet the needs of government, end onerous withholding and filing, and significantly reduce the bureaucracy known as the IRS. Boortz illustrates his Fair Tax plan with examples, and shares responses from those involved in tax reform.

"For anyone interested in trying to remedy the terrible tax system we now have, this is a must reading. It makes a lot of sense. It is a much fairer way for the federal government to get tax revenue."
"This concept will have the same effec as the (proposed) balanced budget amendment to the Constitution, dating back to the Reagan years. Specifically, it will go nowhere. But it will certainly have one effect: Mr. Boortz will make lots of $$$ from sales of the book, however useless it turns out to be.
Three problems with the concept: 1. It does nothing to remedy the federal budget deficit. 2. Politicians of any stripe will always take every possible opportunity to use tax laws to advance their particular cause. But, each time that happens, it makes the tax code more complex. 3. Whether you call it the IRS or some other name, the harsh reality is that some agency in the federal government has to collect the taxes that result from whatever the tax code looks like."
"An indictment of the atrocity that is our current tax code and a beautifully elegant solution are contained within these important pages.
I am obsessed with the idea of the FairTax, a national retail sales tax, because it provides numerous benefits and virtually no drawbacks. It would eliminate the IRS and hundreds of billions of dollars in compliance costs alone. It would reward saving, work, and effort. It is automatically progressive in that those who spend more will pay more taxes. It would free up resources to work out genuine problems and provide new products and services more cheaply. We would no longer waste resources in trying to minimize our tax bill. The American economy would explode. It would treat all Americans exactly equally and get the government out of the business of picking winners and losers. A free society should not be interfered with by bureaucrats in Washington, and this idea is a giant step towards freedom. Taxes are necessary to fund defense and our court systems with a few small additional activities. The FairTax would provide those funds in a cleaner, simpler, fairer way.
The only people who could possibly be against this idea are those who have their livelihoods caught up in the current, complex tax code, which runs to some 65,000 pages in length."
"I'm not an economist, but not only did I read this book in a morning, but I actually understood it! After reading this book, I don't see how anyone could be against the Fair Tax, a proposal currently in the Congress that would actually abolish the IRS and replace income taxes with the fair tax (which is NOT a flat tax or a VAT tax). It is actually quite entertaining throughout with lots of humor and simple explanations."
