For the special, Velshi will examine some of the proposed alternatives to the current tax code. He will talk with nationally syndicated radio talk show host and author Neil Boortz about his fair tax proposal which replaces the federal income tax with a retail sales tax on new goods and services. Additionally, Velshi will discuss flat tax proposals which require taxpayers to pay the same rate. Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Kan.) and Washington, D.C., Senatorial delegate Paul Strauss will discuss Brownback’s flat tax proposal with Velshi.

“The only thing worse than doing your taxes is paying your taxes,” said Jerry DeMink, vice president of CNN News Services. “Ali Velshi cuts through the red tape and talks to folks who say they have a better way. Through Ali’s matter-of-fact explanations, CNNRadio affiliates and their listeners will get easy to understand answers to some prevalent tax questions.”
