Chairman's Report

This week's Chairman's Report is guest written by AFFT Board member Randy Fischer. In it, he looks at an article by Victor Davis Hanson regarding the complete extinction of once thriving cultures.

Dishonest politicians will tell you that they can lower your personal tax burden by making rich corporations pay their fair share. What they don't tell you is that individuals pay every penny of a "corporate" tax. Learn the truth about corporate taxation in this week's Chairman's Report.

IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel appeared before the House Appropriations Committee on May 7, 2024.

The United States is drowning in debt and the DC elites don't seem to care. Unfortunately, the laws of economics are unyielding. The more the Feds borrow, the more things cost us the consumers. The solution is to stimulate economic growth and begin paying down the debt. The best way to start that process is to pass the FAIRtax.

Many of us are using artificial intelligence (AI) to simplify many of our daily activities. The IRS is using it too, but they're using it to pry into your personal financial data without a warrant. If the IRS is going to continue to ignore our Fourth Amendment rights, the only way to stop them is to abolish the IRS by passing the FAIRtax.

Last week's Chairman's Report reported on how America's Elite 1% think differently from the rest of us. This week, the CR gives a concrete example of "elite 1% thinking". Read about how one particular Elite contends that breaking the law is OK if the elites agree with the lawbreaker's agenda.

When people hear about all the good things the FAIRtax does, they often ask who is blocking its implementation. The answer is that there is a very small, but incredibly influential group of people who selfishly work for their own best interests, often to the detriment of everyone else. Check it all out in this week's Chairman's Report.

President Biden's new multi-trillion-dollar tax plan intends to raise $500 billion from American corporations. But as AFFT president Steve Hayes explains, there's a small problem. The corporations may write the check to Uncle Sam, but the money will come out of the pockets of individuals.

Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee has run for President twice, and both times, the FAIRtax was part of his platform. Outside of politics, Huckabee has been and continues to be a successful media figure. His current job is hosting a very successful show on TBN every Saturday night. In early March of 2024, Mike delivered a monologue on his show on how to get rid of the worst day of the year--Ap...

There's a great new book out titled "The Tax Deception" by John Gaver. It's a well-researched comparison that shows how different tax reform proposals stack up against each other and against the current income tax. After a thorough analysis, there's a clear winner--the FAIRtax.

The IRS assures us that the financial data we submit on our income tax returns is held in the highest confidence. Unfortunately, the reality is that our confidential data is a LOT less secure than the IRS would have us believe.

In this week's Chairman's Report, former Congressman and original FAIRtax sponsor John Linder answers several common questions about the FAIRtax.

Artificial intelligence is becoming more and more a part of our lives. Today's computers are simulating human intelligence in a way undreamed of just a few years ago. But one thing remains constant. Computers can't actually think. They have no emotions. They can only objectively evaluate known data. Recently, AFFT board member Randy Fischer asked ChatGPT what it thought of the FAIRtax. The answer...

Elites and ordinary Americans have vastly different levels of trust in the government--around 16% for ordinary Americans up to 89% for Ivy League super-elites. With government made up largely of elites who covet as much control over our lives as they can get, it's no wonder that they want to keep the income tax system in place. The FAIRtax would not only be simpler, fairer and much less expensive...

The DC elites are desperate to keep the corrupt income/payroll tax system in place. To do this, they deliberately distort the truth about just how bad the system is for the American taxpayer. One particularly hideous thing they do is conceal just how much we pay in taxes. In this week's Chairman's Report, Steve Hayes calls them out on their dishonesty and shows how the FAIRtax is a much simpler an...

State governors know that reducing or even eliminating a state's income tax is the best way to attract new people and new businesses to the state. Unfortunately, many try to make up the lost revenue by increasing the state sales tax. That shifts the tax burden down to those on the lower end of the income scale and has led low income voters to oppose candidates who want to lower state income tax ra...

A jury has awarded two Georgia election workers a sizable judgement in their defamation lawsuit against Rudy Giuliani.
