The FAIRtax was first introduced over 25 years ago. In every Congress since then, the FAIRtax has died in committee without even a hearing. Naysayers claim that the FAIRtax is not politically viable and will never pass. But, as guest writer Jade Walle points out, Americans have a history of achieving the impossible, and there's no reason we can't add the FAIRtax to the list of impossible things that determined Americans have done.

Social Security is rapidly running out of money. If something doesn't change, today's Social Security recipients will face a benefit cut in the neighborhood of 20% within just a few short years. The solution isn't higher taxes, lower benefits, a higher retirement age or more borrowed money. The solution is to change how Social Security is funded. The solution is the pass the FAIRtax.

Labor Day was established in 1894 to honor the value, dignity and sacrifice of American working people. Today, the American tax system takes money from those workers before they can spend a dime supporting themselves and their families. It's time to reverse those priorities and put working families ahead of the government. It's time to pass the FAIRtax.

During the second hour of The Charlie James Show on September 3, 2026, host Charlie James interviewed Dr. Casey Whitner, a Libertarian candidate running for the U.S. Senate in South Carolina. Whitner outlined her primary campaign objective—an "anti-debt crusade"—emphasizing the urgent need to address the growing national debt through major reforms to entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare. While acknowledging the necessity of protecting current retirees, she advocated for scaling back benefit packages for future generations, cutting spending, and simplifying the tax code. The conversation also covered foreign policy and immigration, with Whitner promoting a restrained approach to overseas conflict and an economically driven immigration strategy. Following the interview, listeners called in to debate Whitner's platform, particularly her stance on Social Security restructuring. Charlie James then transitioned into broader political commentary, discussing the national FairTax sales proposal and reflecting on the anniversary of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk's assassination.

Boortz previews an upcoming debate over a potential value-added tax, warning that politicians could use the massive revenue it generates for more government spending rather than paying down the national debt. Boortz contrasts the VAT with the FairTax, which would replace existing federal taxes with a national retail sales tax, allowing workers to take home their full paychecks and only pay taxes when they spend money. He argues that the FairTax would also remove incentives for politicians to use the tax code as a source of political power.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When it comes to your taxes, the important number isn't the one attached to your tax bracket. What really counts is your effective tax rate--how much of your total income was eaten up by federal taxes. In this week's Chairman's Report, Steve Hayes compares effective tax rates under the income tax system vs. the FAIRtax.

This week's Chairman's Report is guest written by Bill Rollyson. Bill makes the case that the FAIRtax can play a role in incentivizing the American agricultural industry to reduce its dependance on illegal labor by moving towards more automation and mechanization.

This week's Chairman's Report is guest written by Travis Karnes. Travis is a Constitutional expert who makes a strong case for the FAIRtax on Constitutional grounds.

Wealthy Americans have a variety of ways to legally reduce their income tax liability. One of the most successful is to borrow against capital assets since a loan is not considered income and is not taxed. The FAIRtax would close that loophole and render the "Buy, Borrow, Die" strategy ineffective.

Pollster Frank Luntz has uncovered a troubling picture of America. People think the economic system is unfair. They're falling behind financially, and many are calling for more socialism and less capitalism. There's an answer to these problems that's been hiding in plain sight since 1999. It's the FAIRtax.

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. The real problem for low income earners are the federal payroll taxes that eat up 7.65% of every dollar a worker earns. Bezos' plan leaves those taxes in place. The real answer is to eliminate both income and payroll taxes for all taxpayers. The real answer is the FAIRtax.

In this week's Chairman's Report, guest author Jade Walle makes the case that income and property taxes are the worst taxes we endure. Consumption taxes like the FAIRtax are much better because they don't directly confiscate the fruits of our labor.

Inflation is sometimes described as a "too many dollars chasing too few goods". While that's an oversimplification of a complex situation, it's basically a sound description. This week, Steve Hayes examines how the FAIRtax could help reduce inflation by making it easier for the economy to produce more goods.

In a nutshell, ethics is the study of right and wrong. There are ethical principles that should guide human behavior to be right, fair, honest and responsible. In this week's Chairman's Report, Steve Hayes applies ethical principles to taxation and finds that the FAIRtax is vastly superior ethically to the income tax.

Neal Boortz joined The Morning Xtra from somewhere west of the Continental Divide and covered everything from Georgia politics to taxes, transgender issues, Memorial Day controversies, and the ongoing conflict with Iran. Neal and the guys debated whether Georgia is trending permanently blue, why younger voters are talking about the Fair Tax again, and whether Marco Rubio or J.D. Vance is better positioned for the future of the Republican Party.

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.

Every response you get from an artificial intelligence application comes with this warning—check this over, AI can make mistakes.When we asked AI to simulate a conversation in which a FAIRtax supporter and an income tax supporter were trying to convince a neutral observer which system was better, AI made PLENTY of mistakes trying to defend the income tax, and the FAIRtax Guys are here to call them all out.

The alarm bells have been going off for decades--Social Security is not bringing in enough money to pay the benefits it has promised to American retirees. It sounds like the solution will be painful, but in fact, there's an effective and painless solution for Social Security's financial problems. That solution is the FAIRtax.

What should an ideal tax system look like?  There are some common sense characteristics of a good tax system that transcend partisan differences.Best selling author John Gaver has compiled a list of 22 goals that an ideal tax system should meet.  This week, he continues his discussion with the FAIRtax Guys noting how the FAIRtax meets these goals again and again, while the income tax falls embarrassingly short.

There's no shortage of people who either don't understand the FAIRtax or who have a vested interest in keeping the income tax and will dishonestly misrepresent it.  Boortz and Linder knew that, and addressed many of their questions and objections in Chapter 15 of the original FAIRtax book.This week, the FAIRtax Guys conclude their five part series going over these questions and objections.

If the FAIRtax is such a great idea, why hasn't it been tried somewhere already?Get the answer to that questions and several others as the FAIRtax Guys continue their Questions and Objections series taken from Chapter 15 of the original Boortz and Linder FAIRtax book.

If you think that the sales tax that's shown on your receipt is the only tax you're paying on a retail transaction, you are sadly mistaken.  You don't see it on your receipt, but today's retail prices are significantly inflated by the billions of dollars in costs that the federal income tax system imposes on businesses of every size.This week, the FAIRtax Guys revisit chapter five of Boortz and Linder's FAIRtax book to explain how the income tax system drives up the price of everything you buy.
