Would you trade your income tax for a sales tax on everything you buy?

The FairTax Act (H.R. 25) by @RepBuddyCarter would abolish the IRS & income tax, replacing them with a 23% national sales tax.

- No payroll or estate taxes — only consumption taxed
- Rebates for low-income households
- States enforce the tax, not the feds
- Business purchases & exports exempt
- No carve-outs for food, medicine, or housing
- IRS phased out, not gone overnight


The FairTax Act (H.R. 25) is a game-changer, swapping income/payroll taxes for a straightforward 23% national sales tax.

Critics try to twist the numbers, but the truth is, this plan simplifies taxes.

Middle-class families will benefit from a transparent system that eliminates hidden fees and bureaucratic bloat.
  • Abolishing the IRS? Long overdue.
  • States taking over enforcement means local control.
  • Business exemptions? They level the global playing field for American companies.
  • Reform means cutting waste and empowering taxpayers.

Under H.R. 25, states would collect and remit federal sales tax alongside their own—streamlining enforcement and crushing redundant bureaucracy.

Remember when D.C. blew $4.5B on an IRS "modernization" project that never delivered?

This model avoids such waste by leveraging existing state infrastructure proven efficient

—45 states already administer sales taxes without D.C.'s bloat. The GAO found $66B wasted annually on duplicative federal programs like overlapping tax compliance efforts. FairTax eliminates that redundancy.

—No more double-layered IRS audits and state audits bleeding businesses dry. States keep 0.25% of collections as an admin fee, incentivizing efficiency, unlike federal blank checks for failed agencies. Local control trumps D.C.'s track record of misallocating funds, like Treasury’s $230M "community development" slush funds diverted to political pet projects instead of taxpayers.

Accountability means states answer directly to citizens, not unelected bureaucrats hoarding power and wasting your money.
 
Under the FairTax Act (H.R. 25), labor itself isn’t taxed—no payroll or income taxes on wages.

Instead, taxation shifts to consumption: every dollar spent faces the 23% sales tax.

This eliminates $430B in annual IRS-enforced compliance costs that currently drain productivity.
 
The 23% rate factors in Washington’s current bloat—eliminate that waste, and rates drop automatically.

The FairTax ties revenue to spending discipline: cut bureaucratic flab, and the tax burden shrinks with it.

Streamlining means burning down entire agencies—not trimming their budgets—so Americans keep more of what they earn.
 
States enforce because they’re already set up to collect sales taxes efficiently—no need for a bloated federal bureaucracy.

States have skin in the game—they keep 0.25% of collections as admin fees, aligning incentives without D.C.’s wasteful middlemen.
 
All government spending is taxation. This point really needs to be hammered home. Whatever is not directly taxed is taxed in the form of inflation, as the government prints more money. Inflation is the worst tax of all, as it punishes those who are just barely making ends meet or have gathered some savings.

You're not an American, are you?


In many contexts—legal, democratic, or procedural—failure to participate isn’t inherently an objection to the process itself, but it can be interpreted that way depending on the situation. For example:
  • Legal Systems: If someone skips a court hearing or doesn’t respond to a summons, it’s not automatically an "objection" to the judicial process. Courts might see it as non-compliance or forfeiture of a right to contest, like in default judgments where failing to show up hands the win to the other side. It’s a practical outcome, not a formal statement of protest.
  • Voting/Democracy: Not voting in an election could signal apathy, dissatisfaction, or an implicit rejection of the system—like a boycott—but it’s not legally or officially an "objection" unless explicitly framed that way (e.g., a public abstain campaign). Studies, like those from the American Political Science Review, often note non-participation reflects disillusionment more than active dissent.
  • Consensus Processes: In collaborative settings (think workplace decisions or community boards), opting out might imply disagreement or distrust in the process, but it’s not a rule. Silence can also mean consent—look at "quorum" rules where participation thresholds matter, and abstaining doesn’t always derail things.
Philosophically, some argue non-participation challenges legitimacy—like Thoreau’s civil disobedience vibe—but that’s intent-driven. If you just don’t care or don’t know, it’s not the same as objecting.
