Huckabee supports the Fair Tax.

It is intended to replace the income tax. That is not in the title.

There are a number of good reasons to go to a consumption tax. There are also some downsides.

All in all, though, we must jettison this current income tax and it’s billions of lines of tax code. It is a fact that certified accountants and IRS experts filling out the same citizen’s return will all come up with a different answer.

I am a Thompson/Hunter 08 supporter. Thompson supports a 2 rate “flat tax.”

Keep in mind that ANY flat tax is still an income tax with all the attendant problems thereof.

In addition the FairTax bill does in fact eliminate the IRS and that is clearly stated in the bill.
