My first act as a Member of Congress was to co-sponsor the Fair Tax, which would create a simpler, fairer and flatter tax code to build a stronger economy. The Fair Tax scraps the tax code, abolishes the IRS and eliminates all personal and corporate income taxes, the death tax, gift taxes, and the payroll tax. It replaces them with a single national consumption tax on retail sales.
Carter reiterates support for the Fair Tax, describing it as a plan to replace the current tax code with a national consumption tax and abolish the IRS.
