It looks like newly elected house member Woodall has hit the ground running with a record number of first day co-sponsors. There will be quite a few more over the next few weeks.

In addition to being about freedom, as he stated, the FairTax is also about putting Americans back to work. This ground-breaking piece of legislation would create more good paying jobs here in the U. S. than any other bill before congress.

Imagine what we would save if we abolished the IRS? But then, no politician could stand for losing all those tax scams and kick backs they get from their lobbyists.

This will never survive in the house or Senate. They still believe that they are in charge of us and we work for them.

Good. Talk of true tax reform is helpful.

Ga 7 introducing tax reform and Ga 9 introducing Health Care repeal. I like.

The Fair Tax is the first building block to a VAT!

Yawn - feel good legislation.

Tax COLLECTION is not the problem. Spending is the problem.

Jim Jordan’s name is not on that list though he insists he is a surporter.
my only objection to the fair tax is if properly implemented, it gives the Fed too much money! (23%)

So what is in this Fair Tax Bill designated HR 25? You do a search and it comes up in 2007, 2009, 110th congress etc.

Seems like folks approve of this bill without reading it.. sound familiar?

I’m a “glass is half empty” kind of guy. I think this is a great deal, but they’ll probably end up transferring the IRS employees over the BATFE if it passes.

I will be shocked if it ever gets past the Senate and gets signed by the President.

There are many more Fair Tax candidates who were elected to office in November than past elections. The growing angst with the federal income tax code and the IRS, particularly as it will be used with unconstitutional Obamacare, is becoming a perfect storm for passage of The Fair Tax.

I’m very pleased to see this — Rep. Woodall promised to introduce the legislation when he announced his run to succeed Rep. Linder. Woodall worked for Linder since 1994 and has been a FairTax supporter FRom the original get-go in 1999.

He will be an excellent representative for Georgia and the FairTax.

Let's see. Fed NRST 30% + California 8.5% sales tax existing plus another 5-7% to cover its lost state income tax. That makes for a nearly 50% total sales tax.

If you think for one minute that this country won't then incur all the inefficiencies of a barter economy and a black market, I've got news for you. All you have to do is to look at cigarettes, alcohol, and out-of-country pharmaceuticals to see what will happen. Oh and if you think the IRS is invasive, you haven't seen anything until the Feds are breathing down every single person's neck to make sure currently private gray market transactions are included. So, stick out your hand and take your chip because that is where this goes.

A "Fair Tax" is no panacea. Focus on cutting spending instead.

Sad to see only one Indiana Rep signed on. At least he represents my district.

Where’s Mike Pence?
