Despite what might appear as a boring title, the book is actually a very good read. By reading it, I've learned more about how inequitable the current tax system really is, how it soaks the middle class, hampers business, encourages dollar flight to offshore banks, and generally rewards special interest groups. With the FairTax plan in effect, there would be enough revenue to fund every benefit plan that has ever been perceived. It really should be supported by every political stripe in America, as it is not an elephant or donkey issue.

After reading it, I would encourage those that agree with this common sense approach to taxation to make their feelings known to their respective congresspeople.
