Taxing income and taxing consumption are two radically different ways to raise funds for the government.  But which is better?

There is nearly unanimous agreement among economists from all across the political spectrum that from a strictly economic point of view, a consumption tax is vastly superior to an income tax.  This week, the FAIRtax Guys look at a couple of different articles that address this issue.

The number of cosponsors a particular piece of legislation has can be an indicator of how much support the measure has in Congress.

To that end, the FAIRtax Guys take a look at the cosponsor situation for HR-25, and unfortunately, it doesn’t look as nice as we’d like it to.  They Guys look at who has returned from last Congress to cosponsor in this Congress and also point out those Representatives who cosponsored last term, but who have not signed onto the bill in the current Congress.

President Trump is pushing for passage of what he calls his “Big, Beautiful Bill”.  It contains a variety of tax proposals that the President wants passed into law.

This week, the FAIRtax Guys take a look at what’s in the bill and compare what the President is pushing for vs. the FAIRtax.

The United States is one of only two countries in the word that extends its income tax to its citizens living outside the country.  That’s true even if the citizen maintains no residence in the United States and earns no income from US sources.

This week, the FAIRtax Guys welcome AFFT Grassroots Director Jim Bennett to discuss an intriguing possibility—that by virtue of holding American citizenship, the newly elected Pope may owe taxes to the IRS.

Believing a myth can be harmless, or it can have rather serious consequences.  The income tax code is so complicated and incomprehensible, it’s no surprise that myths abound regarding what’s in it and what it requires you to do.

This week, the FAIRtax Guys look at ten myths about the income tax code that could get you in a lot of trouble if you believe and act on them.  Again, we have ten more reasons why the income tax code should be repealed in its entirety and replaced with the FAIRtax.

After refuting an Arizona investment advisor’s top ten reasons why the FAIRtax fails, the FAIRtax Guys went in search of another top ten list to go over, and they found one.

AARP recently published a list of the top ten weirdest tax breaks that the IRS actually allowed.  In reality, it’s a list of ten reasons why the income needs to be abolished and replaced with the FAIRtax.

The FAIRtax Guys conclude their four part series responding to an Arizona investment advisor’s objections to the FAIRtax.

Saving the most outrageous objection for last, the Guys point out the absurdity of the claim that the FAIRtax is infested with lobbyist’s influence.

Misinformation and disinformation continue to exist about how the FAIRtax works and how it will affect people.

This week, the FAIRtax Guys continue their series responding to an Arizona investment advisor’s objections to the FAIRtax.  Of particular interest this week is the bogus argument that the FAIRtax amounts to double taxation on retirement savings.

Last 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.  Of course, he never does admit that his opposition to the FAIRtax is rooted in the fact that he makes his living helping people deal with the current tax system.

This week, the Guys continue running down the list, pointing out all the errors, misconceptions and downright fabrications about the FAIRtax that this video contains.

Not 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.
