Congressman David Davis
THERE’S A LOT OF TALK THESE DAYS ABOUT REFORMING OUR TAX SYSTEM AND THE WAY WE ARE TAXED. FIRST DISTRICT CONGRESSMAN DAVID DAVIS OF JOHNSON CITY FAVORS WHAT SOME CALL A “FAIR TAX” SYSTEM. CONGRESSMAN DAVIS HAS CO-SPONSORED SUCH A BILL IN THE U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. HE SAYS SUCH A FAIR TAX, OR CONSUMPTION TAX, OFFERS MANY ADVANTAGES SUCH AS ALLOWING AMERICAN PRODUCTS TO COMPETE FAIRLY AND ALLOWING AMERICAN WORKERS TO KEEP THEIR ENTIRE PAYCHECKS. ACCORDING TO DAVIS, ONE OF THE BEST FEATURES OF THE FAIR TAX SYSTEM IS THAT IT WILL REQUIRE THAT PEOPLE ONLY PAY TAXES WHEN THEY DECIDE TO SPEND THEIR MONEY.
