Replace the income tax with a national sales tax

Graves supports the FairTax, which would replace the current progressive income tax with a national sales tax. He says it would tax goods and services people purchase, encourage saving, simplify the tax system, and raise similar revenue to the current code. He also supports the tax reform law that cut taxes, doubled the standard deduction, and increased the child tax credit.

Context: The FairTax is a separate proposal; the passage gives no implementation details or tax rate.
