In 2005, firebrand radio talk show host Neal Boortz and Georgia congressman John Linder created The FairTax Book, presenting the American public with a bold new plan designed to eliminate federal taxes and the IRS, jump-start the U.S. economy, bring back lost industries and jobs, and recapture billions of untaxed dollars currently hoarded by criminal and offshore businesses. Their book became an immediate #1 New York Times bestseller, igniting a powerful grassroots tax reform movement that's spreading like wildfire across our nation.
Now, three years later, the authors are back to answer the outspoken and misinformed critics of their innovative proposal. Offering stunning new insights not covered in the original book, FairTax: The Truth debunks the negative myths and gross misrepresentations of this groundbreaking idea. The FairTax plan is simple, brilliant, and it will work—enabling you to keep all the money in your paycheck; eliminating the fraud, hassle, and waste of our current system; and revolutionizing the way America pays for itself.

" It's clear, it's concise, and it's rather persuasive, although I didn't really have to be persuaded too far. It's likely available at your local library, and it's less than 150 pages, so pick it up so I don't have to make it my default birthday gift for everyone next year. "

“Boortz and Linder—a Libertarian radio show host and a Republican congressman, respectively—consider the attacks levied at the FairTax (divided into those ‘Worth Answering’ and those ‘Barely Worth Dismissing’) and respond snappily with considered arguments, demonstrating for instance how consumers already shoulder retail prices inflated by taxes on production and distribution.”
— Publishers Weekly" Awesome for the same reasons as the first. "
— Jarrod, 2/14/2014" Good follow up to the origanal Fair Tax book. "
— Rhett, 2/3/2014" Good, although not as groundbreaking as the first. For those who are interested in spreading the word about the FairTax, this book covers some good argument points to remember. Otherwise, it's worth reading as a refresher. "
— Lindsey, 1/26/2014" Not as interesting as the first book still a good alternative to the current broken tax system. This version is a bit more detailed than the first book on The Fair Tax. "
— John, 1/24/2014" Boortz does a fine job explaining a new tax system proposed to replace our Income Tax System. "
— Neal, 1/12/2014" It clarified ideas presented in the first book. "
— Brad, 11/27/2013" I have increasingly become to believe that the Fair Tax is the best option for tax reform. Still not satisfied that charities would not be hit hard despite the authors explanation that charities would be by and large unaffected. "
— Linden, 11/14/2013" A very helpful book which helps identify some questions about the FairTax. The authors spend more time addressing concerns about the FairTax plan and explaining in further detail how it will benefit our economy. "
— David, 7/13/2013" While I do think that a fairtax would be far superior than the current income tax, it's still not ideal. Regardless, this book was an easy and persuasive read. "
— Jason, 6/27/2013" I have a hard time finding things credible with little citations used. Interesting theories/ideas though. "
— Melissa, 11/18/2012" Very good and clear about what the fairtax is and could do for the country. "
— Mark, 6/3/2012" Good book, great facts, Utopian in nature- would be better than what we have got! "
— Freddie, 4/20/2012" Makes too much sense for our government to participate in it. I love the idea!!! "
— Tami, 4/17/2012" I'm a CPA and was a fair tax sceptic. This book made me a believer. Excellent! "
— Scott, 3/29/2012" America .... we NEED to do this. I'm a CPA, trust me. "
— Julie, 3/12/2012" This book will make you think about our tax system and whether or not we need the IRS. The authors are experts in their fields and the arguments are detailed and well constructed. Their are many sides to the Fair Tax issue and the authors do a great job at addressing each of them. "
— Ellen, 10/20/2011" I really wish more than a few people would read this and its precursor. I really do. "
— Atchisson, 7/18/2011" You must read------Tax reform is a must need for this country-----very interesting. "

— Linda, 2/15/2011" Although I don't agree with everything written here this book gives a great alternative to the joke we already have. "
— John, 12/9/2010" This is a very good idea, and makes sense. We all know that anything that makes sense can't be done in politics, but I like to think that maybe this is different, that it will be enacted. "
— Leah, 11/5/2010" You know its a big statement when a Liberal like me can agree with Neal Boortz! This is such a great starter book to explain the fair tax! "

— Marie, 4/30/2010" VAT tax, Flat tax, Fair tax???? Readin' up on them all. Just read this book for the 2nd time and so far this is making the most sense to me still got a couple opposing views to read before I make my final conclusion.<br/> "
— Tony, 4/20/2010" Great idea and well explained. I really would like to see this legislation being passed. We need more fairness in our tax laws. "
