Repealing Income Tax and Replacing it with a National Sales Tax

This bill abolishes the federal income tax, payroll taxes, and estate taxes, replacing them with a national sales tax on the consumption of goods and services. You will take home your full paycheck without deductions but will pay tax on purchases, offset by a monthly cash rebate designed to cover taxes on spending up to the poverty level.
Key points
Repeal of federal income, payroll, estate, and gift taxes, allowing workers to keep their full paychecks.
Implementation of a national sales tax rate of 23% for the year 2027 (combined rate for subsequent years).
Provision of a monthly 'Family Consumption Allowance' rebate to cover the sales tax on spending up to the poverty line.
Abolition of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and transfer of tax administration primarily to the States.
