 must read August 29, 2008
Read and pass on!
If everyone understood what this would mean to them, we could force the politicians to switch Federal taxation to the Fair Tax system, and we would all pay a lot less in Federal taxes! No more withholding or tax returns!!!
Wish I could give it Ten Stars August 23, 2008

Yes the subject is a little dry, but if you will read this and the companion book with an open mind, I believe you too will become a fervent Fair Tax supporter. Don't fall into the trap that this is just another giveaway for the wealthy. It is the single best way to tax wealth that I have ever seen. The reason Congress won't do this is it takes away their power and would put their spending under the public microscope. Congress wants to continue their pork barrel spending without having to answer to their boss, the American taxpayer.
A must Read and share! August 22, 2008

This is the first book I read about Fairtax. Then I got the DVD. Some people will not read a book but they will listen as they travel or commute. My husband is one of those people. Now we share one disc at a time with people.
Then I got America's Best Kept Secret: Fairtax Al Ose. Fantastic book!
We have got to spread the word. Do IT!
 Boortz is such a whiner. Like somebody's ex-wife. August 5, 2008

I'm a conservative who has actually tried to listen to his show, but he really does come across like somebody's hostile ex-wife. Cry, complain, moan(then repeat.)
The Fair Tax is a great book for anyone who has never bothered to take an economics course, nor has done any independent reading. If your source of information is talk-radio, then this book is for you.
The biggest problem with the whole thing is that everyone's taxes would go SKY-HIGH (according to studies done and reported in the WSJ and CNN Money.)
I'd rather see a reduction in my taxes -- eliminate big government, reduce the military to a defense only capability (why police the world), and tax corporations that outsource jobs overseas.
An interesting and rather convincing book July 21, 2008

When the Americans For Fair Taxation (AFFT) people first set out to reform taxation, they began doing research to find out what the American public would consider the most fair tax. To their surprise, what they found that the American people wanted a consumption tax, that would fall heaviest on the richest taxpayers and contain safeguards for the poorest taxpayers. And so, after a good deal of hard work, the AFFT came up with the Fair Tax Act, which was crafted to be fair, work for the American economy (not against it!), and meet the needs of Americans.
Not surprisingly, the Fair Tax Act immediately came under fire from those who opposed it because they did not want to see a change in the way taxes are collected and spent, or they were afraid that the Fair Tax was actually an unfair tax in sheep's clothing. To answer these critics, authors Neal Boortz and Congressman John Linder wrote this book, which explains the Fair Tax, and defends it.
Overall, I found this to be an interesting and rather convincing book. When I first saw the book, I assumed it was speaking about a so-called flat tax. That's right, I had never heard of the Fair Tax Act. Well, this book certainly convinced me. I now consider myself a Fair Tax supporter. Get this well-written book, and see for yourself just what the Fair Tax is all about...and, I think that you will be convinced as well.
