Ander Crenshaw Continues to Back the Fair Tax

With the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee kicking over the Fair Tax on Tuesday, Florida Republican U.S. Rep. Ander Crenshaw, who has represented parts of North Florida and the First Coast since 2000, doubled down his support of the proposal.

Each and every year, individuals and businesses must navigate thousands of pages of complicated tax code, said Crenshaw. These complex and wieldy regulations cost too much time and money. Simply put, Americans need a fairer and simpler tax code.

A Fair Tax delivers that solution by repealing all federal income-related taxes and replacing them with a transparent personal consumption tax on goods and services, added Crenshaw. Ive backed a Fair Tax since 2006 as a way to relieve the heavy burden that our current tax code imposes on citizens. I commend Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp for looking at the proposal further and strongly urge all my colleagues in Congress to join me in supporting this long-overdue change in our tax code.
