Chairman's Report

In yet another chilling story of the IRS threatening and abusing American citizens, this week's Chairman's Report details the harrowing experience suffered by Mr. Tom Van Hoose, a gun shop owner in Great Falls, Montana.

This week's Chairman's Report is guest written by Les Rubin. Les heads Main Street Economics Inc, a non-partisan, non-profit corporation dedicated to educating voters on a variety of economic and fiscal issues. In his article, he explains the relationship between the FAIRtax, the Federal debt and inflation.

In honor of the recent July 4 holiday, Americans For Fair Taxation presents a story about what Thomas Jefferson might think if he were to visit modern day America.

If anyone doubts the manner in which the 87,000 new IRS agents will be used, what happened to a Marion, Ohio woman is a scary wake-up call. This week's Chairman's Report documents an unbelievable story of lies, deceptions and threats aimed at an innocent taxpayer. It's one of the strongest reasons yet why we need to abolish the IRS by passing the FAIRtax.

Backdating is when you date a legal document to make it appear that you signed it earlier than you actually did. Backdating with the intent to deceive a court is a felony. But, if you're the IRS, you can apparently backdate documents and suffer no consequences. This week's Chairman's Report looks at just such a case. It's yet another reason why we need to replace the income tax with the FAIRtax and abolish the IRS for good.

A recent unanimous Supreme Court ruling should alarm all Americans. The court ruled that if a friend or co-worker of yours owes money to the IRS, the IRS can look at your bank account information without your knowledge even if there is no legal connection between you and the person the IRS is targeting for collection. That's wrong, and it's just another reason why we need to abolish the IRS by replacing the income tax with the FAIRtax.

Recently an article appeared in The Hill detailing the rather dismal situation that many retirees and soon to be retirees face. The problem stems from the fact that our current tax system punishes something it should be rewarding--savings. By letting everyone save and invest tax free, the FAIRtax would make it a lot easier for people to have a happy and prosperous retirement.

When Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced his candidacy for the Republican Presidential nomination, he was immediately attacked by a political action committee supporting former President Donald Trump. The attack was centered on the fact that DeSantis supported the FAIRtax when he was in Congress. Thanks to this attack ad, the question of keeping or eliminating the IRS is now a campaign issue that all candidates in both parties are going to have to address.

Recently, Senator John Thune (R-SD) came out in favor of what he called "a pro-growth, pro-opportunity, and pro-taxpayer tax code". To hear what he said, you'd think he was advocating for the FAIRtax. Unfortunately, he wasn't but the FAIRtax addresses everything the Senator said was wrong with the current tax code.
