There is a plan now in committee in the House of Representatives referred to as HR 25 and is fair to all Americans.

The Fair Tax is a consumption tax of 23 percent on new goods and services and would eliminate the IRS and all taxes associated with that agency such as the income tax, payroll tax, capital gains tax, the alternative minimum tax, corporate tax, estate and gift taxes. The imbedded tax of 22 percent on all new goods would also be eliminated. American workers would receive their full paycheck.

The poor would pay 0% tax through a rebate program. The Fair Tax is also revenue neutral.
