Steven Curtis tells why the 16th Amendment should be repealed and replaced with a Fair Tax

Steven L. Curtis serves as State Director for Ohio FairTax and Chair of the Strategy Subcommittee of the FairTax Grassroots Advisory Board.

What is the FairTax?

The FairTax plan is a comprehensive proposal that replaces federal income and payroll taxes with an simple, integrated approach including:

* A progressive national retail sales tax.
* A prebate to ensure no American pays federal taxes on purchases up to the poverty level.
* Dollar-for-dollar federal revenue neutrality.
* Repeal of the 16th Amendment through companion legislation.

During the 2008 Presidential Election Campaign, Mike Huckabee was singled out for his support of the FairTax.
