Collins Co-Sponsors Fair Tax Legislation

Statement

In addition to signing onto two balanced budget amendments to the Constitution, Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA) has become an original co-sponsor for H.R. 25, the Fair Tax Act. Sponsored Congressman Rob Woodall (R-GA), this legislation calls for a national consumption based tax and the elimination of the 16th Amendment.

"I campaigned on the need for serious reform to our tax code," Collins said. "The Fair Tax is the best way to ensure hardworking Americans are able to keep more of their paychecks, and protect those same taxpayers from unjust financial intrusions by the federal government. This bill represents smart, fiscal policy that will provide the means to revolutionize our tax system and help ease the financial burden the Democrats in the Senate and the Obama Administration have placed on American businesses and families."
