H.J.Res.0017

Tennessee urges Congress to repeal income taxes and adopt a national retail sales tax.

This resolution urges the United States Congress to repeal all income taxes and replace them with a national retail sales tax as specified in H.R. 25, the Fair Tax Act of 2023. It argues that income taxes are repressive, suppress savings, and impede economic growth, while a sales tax would promote fairness, economic growth, and upward social mobility. The resolution references Tennessee's successful experience with a consumption tax and suggests that federal and state tax administration efforts should be harmonized.
