Americans for Fair Taxation

Americans for Fair Taxation is an organization advocating for a significant reform of the U.S. tax system. It promotes the Fair Tax Plan, which seeks to replace federal income tax and payroll taxes with a national sales tax on new goods and services. The aim is to simplify the tax process, eliminate certain deductions and loopholes, and make tax collection more transparent. Proponents argue it would encourage saving and investment while addressing tax equity. The idea is debated, with supporters highlighting potential benefits and critics raising concerns about its impact on lower-income individuals and overall government revenue.
