The FairTax Book (Abridged) Audiobook

" I came across this book in the clearance section at Half Price Books and knew very little of the fair tax bill before hand. It is easy to understand and I enjoyed the history about the income tax and withholding systems. Would the fair tax be perfect? No, not by a long shot, but I think it would be better than what we have now. "

" I loved this book it was written so that anybody can understand it. I learned the history of how income tax started. Which I never knew. I would recommand anybody instered in chage to the tax system to at least read the book and get informed about the fair tax. and to consider the change. "

" I mostly agree with the ideas Boortz postulates in this book, though I don't necessarily agree with some of the details (mostly in the prebate, I wonder if instead of 23% they drooped the tax to say 21% if that would compensate for the poverty level). I think I will need to read this again and go over what the web pages has to say, but all and all a good book with some good ideas. "

" This book is VERY important. It reads like a textbook but everybody who makes any amount of money, needs to read it! "

" I'm not an economist, but not only did I read this book in a morning, but I actually understood it! After reading this book, I don't see how anyone could be against the Fair Tax, a proposal currently in the Congress that would actually abolish the IRS and replace income taxes with the fair tax (which is NOT a flat tax or a VAT tax). It is actually quite entertaining throughout with lots of humor and simple explanations. "

" I love this book. I love this concept. Now if we could just get it done! "

" Although I don't agree with everything written here this book gives a great alternative to the joke we already have. "

" Our current tax system is not working. It is unfair in so many ways. Read this book to see the light to a brighter future for our country. Don't believe what you've heard from the critics; educate yourself! "

" 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! "

" Awesome, great history of ridiculous taxation in america. Must read for anyone who has paid taxes - REPEAT: if you pay taxes, read this book, it will help you realize what this country needs. "

" Down with the current corrupt income tax! "

" This is one book that really tells the truth, It is a book that everyone need to read. "

" Great Ideas, but would never happen. Makes total economic sense and is kind of fun to fantasize about a country where tax is a fair thing. Worth the read. Huckabee does not seem so crazy after reading this. "

" After reading this book you may be very mad at how the government has taken advantage of you with the current income tax withholding structure. The consumption tax is a good alternative as it takes the power away from the government and gives it back to the people. "

" actually I really liked this book. It is a basic layout of the proponents for replacing the national income tax with a national sales tax. very well put together with a very interesting idea. I wouldn't place any bets on it ever happening but I personally think its a great idea. "

" The book gave no solid numbers or evidence to back thier spectacular claims. That said I do think that the fair tax is an excellent idea, with a few wrinkles to iron out. "

" Interesting...He has a point. "

" Thought this was an intelligent idea "

" very good read although i dont fully agree with the plan and many things said in it. Boortz does bring up a few things that make you think and consider some of its ideas "

" Mostly good arguments (a DAMN GOOD idea!), though the authors started to get a bit outlandish (not quite conservative Michael Moore, but flirting with crossing that land) in the second half. If they can contain their contempt, they'll have an audience. "

" I appreciated that this book was written on a "normal person" level so that it was easy to understand. I want this tax instituted yesterday! The authors were very succinct, but managed to avoid any dryness. Great read! "

" Great idea and well explained. I really would like to see this legislation being passed. We need more fairness in our tax laws. "

" EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ THIS. Right now. We must fight for this plan to become reality. "

" this makes sense -- time to can the income tax!! "

" Although I don't agree with everything written here this book gives a great alternative to the joke we already have. "

" 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. "

" 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. "

" 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! "

" This is one book that really tells the truth, It is a book that everyone need to read. "

" Another political Must Read! I love the idea of this... Why haven't we done this already!?! "

" I appreciated that this book was written on a "normal person" level so that it was easy to understand. I want this tax instituted yesterday! The authors were very succinct, but managed to avoid any dryness. Great read! "

" 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. "

" Great idea and well explained. I really would like to see this legislation being passed. We need more fairness in our tax laws. "
