When asked, Bill provided these thoughts about the Fair Tax:

The term Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is oxymoronic: a) it is NOT a "service," and b) it does nothing to produce revenue; it only TAXES and seizes revenue.

Our current tax system is not fair, nor is it sustainable as levied by the IRS. More than half of U.S. citizens pay NO federal taxes. This is why I am in favor of phasing-out the IRS while adopting a concept that mirrors or closely parallels the "Fair Tax."

The Fair Tax places the tax where it belongs: with the end-user. Government bureaucrats prefer the current (IRS) system because it keeps the public sector in control of our wallets.

With concepts such as the Fair Tax, government spending would have a limit (and greater level of accountability), and the private sector would become unshackled to experience robust growth and vitality.
