I reviewed it for specific provisions which have not changed. What I did not do was update my link to the 2023-24 version after it came on line. The current version, as did the 2022 version:
creates an entirely new tax, a 23 percent tax on articles of consumption, and on “taxable property”;
creates two new tax collecting agencies, an “Excise Tax Bureau” and the “Sales Tax Bureau", in addition to keeping the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms alive, which will also be collecting taxes.
Imposes the new 23% “FairTax” on American citizens and businesses while Congress’ power to lay and collect taxes on “incomes” remains fully intact;
requires taxpayers to file Fair Tax returns twelve times a year;
requires ordinary working people to register with government in order to exercise a fundamental right of mankind . . . selling the property each has in their own labor;
requires ordinary people to become tax collectors for government;
requires taxpayers to keep whatever records Congress may dream up;
allows Congress to lay and collect countless “excise taxes” which members of Congress may dream up, and are calculated from profits, gains and other incomes;
and creates a new entitlement, the “Family Consumption Allowance” [a monthly government check sent to every “qualified family” in the U.S.] that would become another political partisan wedge-issue used during election time to buy votes.
So, tell me, why on earth would any freedom loving person support this rope-a-dope proposal which enlarges and strengthens the federal government’s iron taxing grip around the American people’s necks?
