A "Fair" Tax?

Proponents call it the "Fair Tax."

But just how fair would it be to replace all federal taxes with a 23% sales tax?

Two Tea Party activists in favor of the idea... plus an economist who studies government policy... share their views.

Guests:
G. Douglas Larsen, M.D. - Chair of the Rockbridge Area Tea Party.

J. Barkley Rosser, Jr. Ph.D. - Author of numerous books on economics, including Complex Evolutionary Dynamics in Urban-Regional and Ecological Economic Systems: Beyond Catastrophe and Chaos [Springer, 2011]. Professor of Economics and the Kirby L. Cramer, Jr. Professor of Business Administration at James Madison University.

Albert S. Tucker III - Executive Committee Member - Rockbridge Area Tea Party.

Tom Graham was Senior Producer and host of WMRA's Virginia Insight from 2006 to 2015.
