An Illinois lawmaker is teaming up with Democrats nationwide to oppose a proposed national sales tax.

The Congressional resolution, spear-headed by Illinois Congressman Eric Sorensen, looks to roll back a proposed 30-percent tax on taxable purchases proposed by Republicans. The Freshman lawmaker said the proposed measure from Republicans is 'extreme.'

Congressman Sorensen is joining other Freshmen lawmakers Wiley Nickel from North Carolina and Brittany Petterson from Colorado.

In January, House Republicans introduced the 'Fair Tax Act' that Democratic lawmakers say would increase the tax rate by 30%.
