Woodall Hosts FairTax Briefing

With tax day approaching, Rep. Rob Woodall (R-GA) took the opportunity to hold a briefing regarding the FairTax proposal.

“Now is the time to take that first step toward much-needed reforms to our nation’s tax code,” Woodall said in a released statement.  “We owe our citizens better than both our present tax code and bureaucratic system that taxes the wallets and patience of honest, hard working Americans while simultaneously letting tax fraud and evasion run rampant.”

Several members of Congress and about 30 congressional staffers attended the April 14 briefing. Woodall said he will continue to provide educational opportunities about the FairTax.

“Our economy is in a dire situation right now, and with the debt ceiling and budget debate looming, we need answers and we need them now. The FairTax is that answer,” Woodall said.

The FairTax tax reform legislation currently has 60 co-sponsors in the House of Representatives and six in the Senate.

Woodall’s Seventh District includes all of Barrow and Walton counties, most of Gwinnett County, and portions of Forsyth and Newton counties.
