S2182 sets a deadline to abolish the IRS.

The day it's passed S2182 sets a date for the income tax to end.
The day it's passed, HR 25 actually eliminates the income tax that day.

THe difference I note from your post is that upon passage, HR 25 immediately and indeed by passage the income tax is gone. That's different than the Isakson bill, which after passage sets a future date to eliminate the income tax.

The hold up you'll see on a bill like johnny's is pols will refuse to support it until we have an agreable replacement. That's why we're discussing the various reform proposals.

We've been thru this before.

We've been thru this before.

Well I haven't. I didn't notice anything in the SOTU address tonight about tax reform. As far as I'm concerned that is the most unfinished business of this administration and we got nothing (unless I missed it). I'll take HR 25 and S 2182. Frankly, you, me and all the rest of us have nothing else. HR 25 languishes with 40 sponsors. Whoop-de-do!

The court of public scrutiny and public opinion has done more honest work than any tax commission could achieve. The court has moved the FairTax way ahead of any of the flat tax bills. Politicians and bureaucrats do not possess greater wisdom than the court of public scrutiny and opinion.

The FairTax is what we the people have created in HR25 and S25 and we demand that congress pass them.
