H.R. 25



Congressman John Linder (R-GA-07) has retired, but the FairTax bill has been re-introduced by his friend Congressman Rob Woodall (R-GA-07), for the 112th Congress. As usual, it is H.R. 25, and has a record number of co-sponsors.

"Our current tax system is a bloated, convoluted mess that gives government power over Americans' pockets.  With 47 members of Congress and counting signing their names to the FairTax, we are closer than ever before to voting on legislation that eliminates the frustrating mess that is the IRS."
