RESOLUTION
Expressing support for the designation of April 16, 2024, as "FairTax Day".
Whereas the current United States tax code is over 7,000 pages; Whereas Americans will spend over 6,000,000,000 hours working on filing their taxes this year; Whereas the FairTax would repeal the current tax code and replace it with a single national consumption tax that is progrowth and allows Americans to keep every cent of their hard-earned money; Whereas the FairTax allows Americans to keep 100 percent of their hard-earned paycheck and ends the Internal Revenue Service headache; Whereas a family of four could spend $30,000 annually without paying a penny in taxes; Whereas, in addition to eliminating all personal and corporate income taxes, the death tax, gift taxes, and the payroll tax, the FairTax would also eliminate the need for the Internal Revenue Service; and Whereas the FairTax is the only tax system that is simple, efficient, friendly to economic growth, nondiscriminatory, unintrusive, and FAIR: Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports the designation of "FairTax Day".
