The FairTax Book review:5 stars (We can get this done!) - This isn't a pipe-dream folks. Washington WILL LISTEN, but you have to want it and promote the Fair Tax in order to get it. Write your elected officials. Send them a book. Talk to everyone you know and lend them your book.

And for "Mathmatician," if you are going to figure the tax on the basis of exclusion, then you need to figure your income tax that same way. In other words, my stated salary is a PRE-TAX figure--I certainly don't get to take it all home under the present system.

So, figured in the same manner as your salary, the rate is 23%. The rate is 30% figured your way. EITHER way, I am still coming out ahead and YOU are still paying the same thing, no matter how you want to slice it.5 stars (Makes a Lot of Sense, but You Have a Sales Job) - It seems that no one likes our taxing system except the politicians (who get to reward big contributors with tax breaks), the left wing liberals who still believe that making money is some kind of sin, and of course the criminals who ignore paying taxes anyway.

Still, that's a lot of people who won't like the idea. And I suspect that at 23% the rate is a little bit low. If you're going to put on a National Sales Tax, I'd like to see it cover all the other hidden taxes as well. I believe the tax on gasoline is a bit over 50 cents a gallon. Property taxes, state sales taxes, excise takes on things like tires, and the disposal fee on tires. There are literally hundreds of taxes that I think we would be better off without, and for the same reasons getting rid of the income tax is good.

The politicians you might be able to convince, all you have to do is get them to believe that their change of getting re-elected is better. It sounds like progress is being made. The criminals are smart enough to never vote for this, but there aren't too many of them. The liberals will never be convinced that if you give them a dollar and a half for every dollar they get now, and then take 25 or 30 cents away in the sales tax that they will have more money.

Let's hope. It makes so much sense.5 stars (More Than Fair...) - The toughest thing to accept about this book is that such potentially complex information is presented in such a simple, straightforward manner.

Once past that fact, the reform program it proposes is astounding. It would greatly simplify our tax code, spread the burden of taxation far more equitably...thus lowering EVERYONE's effective rate paid, release the full, pent-up potential of our economy by doing away with the drag caused by corporate taxes, end the most regressive tax in America - the Payroll Tax, and strike the greatest blow for liberty since the Declaration of Independence by abolishing the IRS as we know it.

I not only enjoyed "The Fair Tax Book", I was energized by it. Perhaps America's best days still lie ahead of us afterall.
