What Experts Say About The Income Tax

"Replacing the federal income tax is the right thing to do and this is the right time to do it."
-- Senator Richard Lugar (Indiana)

"In my opinion our challenge will do no less than pull the current income tax code out by its roots and throw it away so that it can never grow back."
-- Rep. Bill Archer, Chairman
House Ways and Means Committee

"The IRS has become a symbol of the most intrusive, oppressive and non-democratic institution in our democratic society."
-- Former IRS Commissioner Fred Goldberg

It should be asked of a philosoper."
-- Dr. Albert Einstein, 1944

"What about scrapping the personal and corporate income tax codes, which often discourage savings and investment, in favor of a consumption tax that would encourage them? Such a tax should be structured to protect low-income families. That would be worth fighting for: pro-growth and fair."
-- The New York Times

"Perhaps the single most urgent policy initiative for the 105th Congress is to replace America's arcane, anachronistic, and anti-growth tax code. Jimmy Carter had it right 20 years ago when he described the U.S. income tax system as a disgrace to the human race."
-- Stephen Moore, Cato Institute

"Changing the federal tax base from income to consumption is an idea whose time has come."
