House GOP calls for abolishing IRS, introduces alternative to ‘Tax Day’

by | Apr 17, 2024

Republican Georgia Reps. Buddy Carter and Andrew Clyde put forth a resolution on Tuesday to designate April 16, the day following Tax Day, as FairTax Day.
The resolution, part of H.R. 25, the FairTax Act, aims to replace the current tax code with a national consumption tax, thereby eliminating both the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and Tax Day.

“Let’s make April 15, 2024, our last Tax Day ever. It’s time for a change, and FairTax Day will raise awareness about this popular, Georgia-grown proposal,” Rep. Carter said to the Daily Caller before introducing the resolution.

“The FairTax would not only create a simplified and fair tax code for all Americans but would also foster economic prosperity and eliminate the need for the IRS, which has become weaponized,” Rep. Clyde told The Daily Caller.
