Huckabee pitched his “fair tax,” a single-rate consumption tax to replace all other taxes on wages, investments on inheritance. “It’s a powerful unlocking of the economy,” Huckabee said, noting that he would allow something similar to the Earned Income Tax Credit to ease the tax burden on low-income households.
