Long was a co-sponsor of the Fair Tax Act, a bill that would abolish income taxes. and instead implement a whopping 23% sales tax, which is a regressive tax that the tax policy center said would lead to tax increases on the middle class and a massive tax cut for the wealthiest Americans.

The bill Long co-sponsored tracks the exact language of Project 2025, the right-wing roadmap for Trump's second term.
