There is currently a bill in the House (HR25) which is the legislative form of the Fair Tax. The Fair Tax is a National Sales Tax, turned into a progressive tax system because of the prebate - a rebate on taxes paid for basic necessities. Eliminating all income, payroll, corporate, estate, capital gains taxes - all except excise taxes - and replacing with a sales tax on only new goods and services, expands the base of tax payers and lowers the rate for all americans, increasing competitiveness of domestic manufacturing and exports, allows repatriation of profits and allows individuals to control how much tax they pay based on spending decisions. With no exclusions for any goods or services, you also reduce lobbyist and special interest influence. See fairtax.org for detail
