Republican
   
Newt Gingrich
Although briefed multiple times by FairTax experts he maintains “...the FairTax is a good idea but I’m not yet convinced it’s a doable idea...” He supports a dual system of the current tax code and an optional flat income tax.
Gary Johnson
 States 'Let the people decide' and lists the FairTax as an option “It is simple economic common sense"
Ron Paul
States 'Let the people decide' and lists the FairTax as an option "I'll vote for the FairTax if it comes up because I have made a promise that I would do anything to get rid of the income tax and the IRS, and repeal the 16th amendment and that FairTax certainly moves it in that direction."
Mitt Romney
No. Understands parts of the FairTax but has misrepresented others and currently favors lower taxes on businesses.
Mike Snyder
