Yoder and Woodall and 56 Other Co-sponsors Urge Passage of #FairTax Proposal

Legislation would repeal income tax, abolish IRS
Washington, D.C. – On Tuesday, Representative Kevin Yoder (R-KS) joined Representative Bob Woodall (R-GA) and 57 of his House colleagues as cosponsors of HR 25, a bill to replace our current tax structure with the Fair Tax.

“It’s no secret that our current tax code is broken, Representative Yoder said. “Not only is it a constant drain on our economy, but it is also fundamentally unfair. This year alone, over half of all Americans – and many businesses – will pay no income tax due to the numerous corporate loopholes existing in the current system. That is why I am proud to again cosponsor Representative Woodall’s proposal to scrap this unhealthy and unfair system in favor of the Fair Tax.”

The Fair Tax proposal repeals the income, employment, and estate and gift taxes and establishes a nationwide 23 percent sales tax. To ensure that each family can consume tax free at or beyond the poverty level, it provides for a universal “prebate.” It also abolishes the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and entrusts the States with collection of the tax.

“As we’ve seen with the targeting of conservative groups for their political beliefs, this Administration’s IRS is out of control. This proposal gives Americans of all stripes the ability to control their own tax burden by choosing how much to consume, thereby eliminating the need for an IRS altogether. I see no better way to get the government out of our lives and our pocketbooks than this proposal, and that is why I urge the House of Representatives to take it up for passage as soon as possible.”
