9. Why should we replace the current labor-intensive tax code with the Fair Tax code?  Please check all that apply:

Explanation

The Fair Tax code offers several benefits that make it preferable to the current labor-intensive tax code. Firstly, it eliminates the need for the government to know personal financial information, ensuring privacy. Secondly, it allows individuals to keep their entire paycheck, providing them with more financial freedom. Additionally, implementing the Fair Tax code is expected to result in job creation, reduced unemployment, and overall prosperity. The elimination of the Death Tax and congressional lobbyists is another advantage, promoting fairness and transparency. Furthermore, retirees can keep 100% of their pensions, ensuring their financial security. Lastly, the Fair Tax code creates a level playing field in the global economy, incentivizing companies to manufacture products in the USA rather than abroad.
