What should an ideal tax system look like?  There are some common sense characteristics of a good tax system that transcend partisan differences.

Best selling author John Gaver has compiled a list of 22 goals that an ideal tax system should meet.  This week, he continues his discussion with the FAIRtax Guys noting how the FAIRtax meets these goals again and again, while the income tax falls embarrassingly short.

One of best selling author John Gaver’s 22 goals for tax reform is that an ideal tax system should be hard to evade.  Another is that a good tax system doesn’t burden the taxpayers with exorbitant costs just to comply with the code.

These are just two of the points that Gaver discusses with the FAIRtax Guys this week as they continue their multi-part series looking at all 22 goals and determining which tax system best meets them.

Best selling author John Gaver has written extensively about tax reform.  He has developed a set of 22 goals that a superior tax reform proposal should meet.

This week, the FAIRtax Guys welcome Gaver to the program to begin a multi-part series in which they go over all 22 goals and see what kind of tax system meets these goals.  Here’s a hint—it’s not the income tax.

There’s no shortage of people who either don’t understand the FAIRtax or who have a vested interest in keeping the income tax and will dishonestly misrepresent it.  Boortz and Linder knew that, and addressed many of their questions and objections in Chapter 15 of the original FAIRtax book.

This week, the FAIRtax Guys conclude their five part series going over these questions and objections.

You have questions.  The FAIRtax Guys have answers.  Or more specifically, Neal Boortz and John Linder anticipated many of the questions and objections that would be raised against the FAIRtax and addressed them in Chapter 15 of the original FAIRtax book.

This week, the FAIRtax Guys continues their series based on that chapter of the book.  This is good information that every FAIRtax volunteer should know.

If the FAIRtax is such a great idea, why hasn’t it been tried somewhere already?

Get the answer to that questions and several others as the FAIRtax Guys continue their Questions and Objections series taken from Chapter 15 of the original Boortz and Linder FAIRtax book.

Some questions and objections raised against the FAIRtax are honest.  Some are not.  In either case, FAIRtax advocates need to know how to answer those questions and meet those objections.

To that end, the FAIRtax Guys continue with their series based on Chapter 15 of the original Boortz and Linder FAIRtax book in which the authors examine some of the questions and objections they expected would be raised against the FAIRtax.

When Boortz and Linder wrote their first FAIRtax book back in 2005, they knew that people would have questions about it.  They also knew that people with a vested interest in keeping the income tax system in place would raise objections trying to persuade people to stick with the status quo.

This week, the FAIRtax Guys begin a series based on Chapter 15 of the FAIRtax book in which the authors address some of the basic questions and objections that would be raised against the FAIRtax.

With election season for the midterms heating up, it’s important for voters to know where the candidates stand on important issues like tax reform and replacing the income tax with the FAIRtax.

To this end, FAIRtax Power Radio welcomes Steve Toth to the program.  Steve is running for Congress in Texas District 2.  This week, the FAIRtax Guys explore Steve’s position on the FAIRtax as he seeks to unseat incumbent Congressman Dan Crenshaw.

If you think that the sales tax that’s shown on your receipt is the only tax you’re paying on a retail transaction, you are sadly mistaken.  You don’t see it on your receipt, but today’s retail prices are significantly inflated by the billions of dollars in costs that the federal income tax system imposes on businesses of every size.

This week, the FAIRtax Guys revisit chapter five of Boortz and Linder’s FAIRtax book to explain how the income tax system drives up the price of everything you buy.
