Archer presses radical tax reform to replace income tax
House Republicans opened hearings on replacing the 82 year old income tax with a broad consumption tax. Rep. Bill Archer said the system is broken and must be replaced, backing a national sales tax possibly with a value added tax. He aims to eliminate individual returns, encourage savings, and curb tax cheating while promoting exports.
