FAIR TAX REPRESENTATIVE INVITED TO TESTIFY
BEFORE JOINT ECONOMIC COMMITTEE
Americans for Fair Taxation (AFFT) has been invited to testify at a Joint
Economic Committee hearing on “How U.S. Tax Policy Affects Business
Investment and Job Creation” at 10 a.m., Thursday, November 17.
AFT Chairman Leo Linbeck Jr. said a letter of invitation to testify before the
committee was sent by JEC Vice Chairman Kevin Brady (R-Texas).
Economist Dan Mastromarco will testify on behalf of AFFT.
“We welcome the opportunity to discuss the FairTax proposal with members of
Congress,” Linbeck said. “The FairTax would be the single best law that Congress
could pass to create jobs and give our economy a permanent boost.
“We also would like to discredit the misplaced criticism that a national sales tax
like the FairTax would unfairly impact middle class families.
“In fact, the FairTax specifically ‘untaxes’ the poor and lowers middle class tax
burdens while allowing every wage earner to take home paychecks without federal
withholding or payroll taxes deducted.
“We look forward to a fair hearing in the Congress where we will have the
opportunity to describe the many benefits of FairTax to the informed members of
the Joint Economic Committee and answer any questions.”
### Americans For Fair Taxation was formed in 1995. It is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, grassroots organization solely dedicated to
replacing the current tax system with a progressive national retail sales tax, a “prebate” to ensure no American pays federal taxes
on spending up to the poverty level, dollar-for-dollar federal revenue neutrality, and, through companion legislation, the repeal of
the 16th Amendment.
