A FAIRtax LTE

 
 
FAIRtax-er Joseph Ryan published the following letter to the editor of the Citrus County Chronicle on November 25, 2022:
---------------------------------------------------------
“The Fair Tax is Better

“What happens when the IRS and all nine different taxes on income are eliminated and replaced by the Fair Tax? We keep 100% of our salaries. We no longer spend $200 billion annually to comply with the tax code. There is no tax code. We pay taxes only when we buy new goods and services at the retail level. We save $10 billion annually on IRS salaries.

“A provision in the Fair Tax called “prebate” makes all spending on basic necessities tax free. The federal government has calculated the annual cost of basic necessities for everyone, from a single individual to a very large family.

“To assure all spending on basics is tax free for everyone, once a year every family will send the names and Social Security numbers to the Treasury Department. Assume a family of four needs $28,000. They spend the $28,000. But in doing so, they pay the consumption tax of 23%, which totals $6,440.

“Provided all Social Security numbers are valid, the Treasury sends them 12 monthly payments of $536. For any spending over $28,000, they pay the 23% tax and get no rebate.

“Joseph Ryan, Homosassa”
