Dear FairTax Supporters, My name is Paul Broun and I’m running for Congress in Georgia’s Ninth District. I’m an ardent supporter of the FairTax.

At more than 73,000 pages, it’s no wonder our country’s tax code spells headache for millions of hardworking Americans across the country.

America’s national debt sits above a staggering $19 trillion. That’s math we literally can’t even begin to comprehend, yet it’s not hard to understand why we should worry. Many of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle think the solution to our debt crisis is to raise taxes.

As we approach the annual blood letting called tax season, I wanted to take this opportunity to say a few things about how we might do things a little differently in America.

Fundamental tax reform took center stage on Capitol Hill this week, and as always, I was eager to have the conversation. I was privileged to testify on the FairTax before the Ways and Means Subcommittee on Tax Policy, as well as share the good news with Ways and Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady’s Tax Reform Idea Task Force. What some may not know is that there’s a great deal of consensus in Washington and across the country that America desperately needs fundamental tax reform – in particular, reform that is consumption-based. It’s that consensus that leads us to these vital conversations and ultimately to implementing the lasting solutions we need. Read More.
