It’s official.  President Trump has announced that Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency will look into the inner workings of the IRS.  We don’t know exactly when that will happen, but we’ve got a pretty good idea of what they’ll find.

To that end, the FAIRtax Guys look at an Epoch Times article on the subject, and look forward to the day when the American people find out just how wasteful and inefficient the IRS really is.

It’s inevitable that any discussion of President Trump’s plan to eliminate the income tax will be tainted with politics.

Consequently, the FAIRtax Guys asked economist David Kendall to take a look at income taxes vs. consumption taxes strictly within the realm of the science of economics.  When you strip away the politics, there’s clearly a good way and a bad way to fund the federal government.

AFFT Social Media Director Randy Fischer knows what has America’s attention and what they’re talking about.  And for the first time ever, the FAIRtax is high on the list of things America is interested in.

Join the FAIRtax Guys for part two of their two part series with Randy Fischer as they discuss the FAIRtax on social media.

If you want to know which issues are commanding the attention of the American public, just check social media.  If you have a message that you want people to hear, putting it on social media is a good way to do it.

This week, FAIRtax Power Radio begins a two part series with AFFT Social Media Director Randy Fischer.  The good news is that the level of interest in the FAIRtax on social media has never been higher.

The good news is that as 2025 begins, there is an unprecedented level of interest in the FAIRtax thanks in large part to President Trump’s stated desire to get rid of the income tax.  The bad news is that there is a lot of misinformation and negative opinion being presented as fact about the FAIRtax in social media circles.

This week, FAIRtax Guy Bob Scarborough delves into some of the social media exchanges he has had regarding the FAIRtax, and shares some advice for FAIRtax supporters on how to successfully engage FAIRtax skeptics on social media.

The 119th Congress has begun and once again, the FAIRtax has been introduced as HR 25.  Georgia Congressman Buddy Carter is again the primary sponsor.  The number of cosponsors on a piece of legislation is a good indication of how much support it has.  Therefore, it’s important that we get as many cosponsors on the FAIRtax bill as possible.

This week, the FAIRtax Guys examine where HR 25’s cosponsorship stands in the new Congress.

“Rich corporations need to pay their fair share of taxes”.  That may be enticing political rhetoric, but it’s an economic fallacy.  Corporations don’t pay taxes.  While they might have to write a check to Uncle Sam, the money to pay those taxes inevitably comes from the pockets of individuals.

This week, the FAIRtax Guys look at an article written by a former North Carolina state representative that rightfully concludes that the corporate tax rate should be zero—exactly what it would be under the FAIRtax.

January 2025 marks the beginning of a new Congressional session, the 119th Congress.  The new year also marks the first time that we’ve had a President of the United States who is on record as wanting to get rid of the income tax.

To start off the new year, AFFT president Steve Hayes joins the FAIRtax Guys for his annual “State of the FAIRtax” analysis.

All year, the FAIRtax Guys have been taking a weekly look at what the Congress Critters are proposing to do to the tax code.  Some of their proposals are somewhat humorous.  Some are maddening, and some are just plain baffling as to why something like that would be in the tax code.

As 2024 draws to a close, the Guys are pleased to present their 2024 Tax Proposal Hall of Shame featuring the best of the best, or in some cases, the worst of the worst proposals to change the tax code over the past year.

With Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy poised to take a look at the IRS in their search for government waste and inefficiency, the FAIRtax Guys thought it would be interesting to take a look at what they might find.

So this week, the Guys dig into an article published at factretriever.com that lists “60 Interesting Facts About the IRS”.  Just about every one of them is a testament to why the IRS needs to be put out of business by the FAIRtax.
