King Hosting FairTax Special Order Tonight

Congressman Steve King and other House members will host a FairTax Special Order tonight on the House floor. Special order speeches allow members to speak on any topic for a period of time reserved in advance. Special orders can be anywhere from 5 to 60 minutes in length.

King and other House members will contrast President Obama's tax-hiking budget proposal with the FairTax, a true economic stimulus. The FairTax offers American businesses and taxpayers a complete departure from the current tax system. Rather than taxing production, the FairTax taxes consumption.

"Our current economic crisis will not be solved through tax increases or massive government spending,""In these tough times, we need an innovative solution on Capitol Hill: the FairTax. The FairTax is the best and most effective way to encourage business growth and positive, long-term economic performance. Enacting the FairTax would usher in a new period of American economic growth, create new jobs across the country and give American citizens more control over their own paychecks." King said.
