Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is proposing that the bottom half of American taxpayers pay zero income tax. Sounds interesting, but its effect would be minimal.

By definition, the FAIRtax is a federal excise tax. In this week's Chairman's Report, AFFT president Steve Hayes recalls both the historical and current uses of excise taxes as a revenue source.

Some people may be surprised to learn that the FAIRtax will apply to purchases made by government entities. While that may seem strange to some, there's actually a good reason for it. AFFT president Steve Hayes explains in this week's Chairman's Report.
