Rep. Buddy Carter introduced a bill to eliminate the IRS and federal income tax
On January 3, 2025, Congressman Buddy Carter (R-GA) introduced H.R. 25, known as the FairTax Act of 2025.This legislation proposes a significant overhaul of the U.S. tax system by eliminating the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and replacing federal income taxes with a national consumption tax.
The FairTax Act aims to repeal existing personal and corporate income taxes, as well as other federal taxes such as the death tax, gift taxes, and payroll taxes. In their place, it would implement a single national sales tax on retail purchases, administered primarily by the states. Proponents argue that this system would simplify the tax code, promote economic growth, and allow individuals to retain their entire paychecks, paying taxes only when they make purchases.
Congressman Carter has been a longstanding advocate for the FairTax, having previously introduced similar legislation in earlier sessions of Congress. He contends that the current tax system is overly complex and burdensome, and that the FairTax would eliminate the need for the IRS, thereby reducing government intrusion into individuals' financial affairs.
The bill has been referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means for further consideration.

Central Banks lost control! Gold currency trust
Major central banks have totally lost control and the world economy is now floating around helplessly without direction.Since sound money must be scarce, fiat money can never be sound since unlimited amounts can be and have been created. One of the very important features of gold is that it is scarce. The total global gold stock only increases by 1.7% or 3,000 tones per annum.
So scarcity is one of the important reasons why gold is the only currency that has survived in history.

Speaking at the IMF and World Bank spring meetings, Bessent emphasized stronger U.S. leadership and major institutional changes to restore balance to the global financial system.
