How the federal income tax has damaged the American economy and undermined the American dream -- and how the FairTax will fix both
The FairTax Solution: Financial Justice for All Americans
by Ken Hoagland
There is nothing, Benjamin Franklin once noted, more
certain than death and taxes. But does our tax system have
to lead to national economic death? Many economists believe
that's just what is happening, as the federal income tax --
created in 1912 as a simple way to soak the rich for
their "fair share" -- has grown into a monster that
threatens the very foundations of our economy and our
system of democracy. But there's a better solution: the
FairTax -- a flat sales tax on all new goods and services.
Now, in The FairTax Solution: Financial Justice for All
Americans, FairTax expert and advocate Ken Hoagland offers
a clear and compelling explanation of this revolutionary
idea.
(continued from above)
As Hoagland reveals, the FairTax is really three
things in one: a better national tax system, a direct path
out of our fiscal mess, and the means to reconnect the will
of the majority in the behavior of our government. In
The FairTax Solution, you'll discover:
- How the Fairtax is based on the idea that the federal
government should stop taxing what goes into our
economy -- earnings, savings, and investments -- and
start taxing what comes out: consumption
- How the FairTax produces the same amount of revenue as
the income tax -- but encourages growth, reduces
political corruption and loopholes, and creates a far
healthier and more transparent relationship between
Americans and their government
- How our income tax system has actually helped drive
more than $12 trillion of American wealth offshore in
recent years
- How the income tax system serves the political, profit
and power motives of a small group of politicians,
academicians and lobbyists
- How, unlike the income tax, the FairTax would
transform twelve million illegal immigrants into
taxpayers, and end the marriage penalty, the corporate
tax, the capital gains tax, the inheritance tax and
all income and payroll taxes
- How the Fairtax eliminates all federal taxes on the
poor, gives the middle class a healthy tax break and
taxes billionaire's spending at an equal level
- How the Fairtax also provides a far broader base of
revenues into the faltering Social Security and
Medicare programs
- Why, if we don't dramatically reform the tax system,
our country will continue on a downward spiral of
irresponsible spending, lobbyist influence, and
unequal citizen representation
- Why, despite its clear benefits to the nation and for
predictably self-interested reasons, the tax lobby
hates the FairTax -- and how they can be overcome
"The income tax has penalized the success of
hardworking Americans and damaged our economy for far too
long. Hoagland describes the shortest and best path to a
new era of growth and the restoration of the American
dream." -- Mike Huckabee
"Hoagland makes crystal clear the danger of
keeping hidden the true linkage between government spending
and each citizen's earnings. This book makes obvious
that without the Fair Tax, the United States will never
bring the spending profligacy of representative government
under control." -- Former U.S. Senator Mike Gravel (D-AK)
"Hoagland writes convincingly for the national tax
policy change that, with passage, will do more for American
liberty, economic healing and common sense than any other
single piece of legislation." -- Neal Boortz, co-author of
The FairTax Book and nationally syndicated talk show host
