Former Alaska Senator Mike Gravel's Progressive Fair Tax proposal calls for the elimination of the income tax and the IRS and seeks to institute a national sales tax on new products and services instead. He is in favor of embryonic stem cell research, is in favor of lowering the drinking age, legalizing marijuana, and advocates wind power as an alternative to oil.
