Most Americans

A few years ago Parade Magazine polled its readers about whether the current income tax system should be entirely scrapped and replaced……… By 50 to 1 margin readers said abolish the tax code. The most intriguing finding of all was that the editors reported that even hundreds of IRS agents responded with a plea to ax the current tax code.

National polls show that more than two thirds of Americans say they want fundamental tax reform. For nearly 100 years, we have carried the burden of an oppressive and counterproductive tax system that has punished work and achievement, savings and investment. The current tax code has been grossly manipulated to reward elite political interests; it hurts the average American. The current tax code has hidden the true cost of government from the very taxpayers who support it.  Americans are not obligated to accept a tax system that penalizes the average working American while giving special consideration to those who buy favors and perks in Washington D.C. Only consistent grassroots enthusiasm and pressure will force legislators to act.

Americans for Fair Taxation is a 501c(4) non-profit, non-partisan organization, headquartered in Houston, Texas with an office in Washington, D.C. Since it was founded in 1995, Americans for Fair Taxation has grown to become the largest tax reform organization in the United States with over 400,000 supporters and members. Americans for Fair Taxation advocates the elimination of the current income tax code.
