It seems like out of all the serious tax reform proposals, the FairTax is gaining the most momentum. It's basically a national sales tax of 23% that would replace all federal taxation.

Pros of the FairTax:
- Easy to understand
- Low compliance cost
- Taxes are "voluntary"
- Encourage saving and discourage spending
- Does not penalize making money
- Encourage reuse, instead of buying
- Retail prices (pre-tax) could fall since corporations will no longer have to pay taxes

Cons of the FairTax:
- We are still getting taxed at a signficant percentage
- Tax rate could increase in the future
- Does not address the root problem - federal spending
