FairTax worldwide FairTax overview
ShareTax.org aims to promote worldwide a fiscal system known in the US as the
FairTax. The ShareTax is a polished version of the FairTax
, rebranded for a non-US audience
. This system will have a positive, solid and global impact. It will happen, but sooner is better than later, so I support it now. You should too, it’s the best way to invest effort toward a civilized society.
The FairTax is based on two simple, complementing ideas about funding the state and providing social protection:
- Replacing all direct taxes (on income, salary, etc.) with a flat-rate consumption tax (sales tax or VAT). Basically, you keep your entire income, skip filing tax declarations, and pay tax only when you consume.
- Redistributing a portion of revenues EVENLY to ALL citizens through a monthly check. Everybody (rich or poor, employed or not) receives a monthly check, exact same amount for everybody.
The FairTax isn't a matter of contention between left and right, because it's a decision upstream of society’s political preference. This one system is actually perfectly suitable for either choice (nanny state or wild capitalism)
