What if the IRS didn’t exist? What if every American — even billionaires, tourists, and criminals — contributed to government funding simply by buying goods and services?
This isn’t a fantasy. In fact, it’s already happening — just in disguise.
💸 Tariffs Are Hidden Taxes on You
Many Americans believe tariffs are a penalty on foreign producers. The truth? Tariffs are paid by U.S. consumers. When goods from abroad are taxed, businesses pass those costs down the line — and prices go up.
That’s a consumption tax. It doesn’t appear on your paycheck, but you’re paying it every time you shop.
So if we’re already paying hidden taxes when we buy goods, why not be upfront about it — and go all in?
📜 The Current System is a Mess
Here’s the reality most taxpayers face:
-
13 hours: Average time it takes to file a return
-
$240+: Average cost to prepare a tax return
-
70,000+ pages: U.S. tax code complexity
-
IRS agents and auditors: Conflicting interpretations, endless penalties
-
Social Security and Medicare payroll taxes: Automatically withheld from every paycheck
And yet, many giant corporations pay zero income tax — legally — through loopholes and accounting tricks. The average taxpayer, on the other hand, is stuck paying not just federal income tax, but also payroll taxes for Social Security and Medicare that eat into every dollar they earn.
⚖️ A Better Way: The Fair Tax
The Fair Tax is a powerful alternative to our broken system. It proposes to:
-
Eliminate all income, corporate, payroll, and self-employment taxes
-
Abolish the IRS and the need for tax returns
-
Replace the entire system with a flat national sales tax on new goods and services
-
Send every household a monthly prebate to cover basic needs and protect low-income families
No more filing returns. No more fear of audits. No more payroll taxes draining your paycheck.
🚔 Even Criminals Pay Under the Fair Tax
Here’s where the Fair Tax truly shines: everyone contributes, including:
-
Wealthy tax dodgers
-
Tourists and non-citizens
-
Undocumented workers
-
Even criminals spending ill-gotten gains on luxury homes, boats, jewelry, or private jets
If they spend money in the U.S., they fund the government — no exceptions.
🏛️ Universal Contribution. Transparent Collection.
Under the Fair Tax, there’s no hiding behind deductions or offshore accounts. The more you spend, the more you contribute.
-
Buy a yacht? You fund defense.
-
Buy a mansion? You support healthcare.
-
Buy groceries? You fund public safety — but the prebate refunds the tax on essentials, so low-income households are protected.
🚫 Eliminate the IRS — and Payroll Taxes Too
The Fair Tax would:
-
Eliminate Social Security and Medicare payroll deductions
-
End the need for IRS enforcement, tax attorneys, audits, and complicated forms
-
Close the door on corporate loopholes and offshore shelters
All while maintaining (or even growing) the federal revenue base.
🧾 Fair, Simple, and Truly American
The Fair Tax restores fairness by tying government funding to spending, not earnings. If you buy more, you pay more. If you save, you’re rewarded. And best of all, everyone contributes, with no exceptions.
📣 The time is now. Simplify the tax system. Empower every citizen. Eliminate the IRS.
