The Fair Tax is an excellent idea..
However, the fair tax with this COngress would become a VAT faster than Wall Street criminals stole Bear Stearns.. and pilfered the U.S. Treasury on the way IN THE DOOR..

The Fair Tax is BIG gov't republican bait to very large Congressional SHARKS.. Pass the Fair Tax and one thing is certain..
WE BETTER GET A BIGGER BOAT..

If I have read the Bill correctly, does not H.R. 25 repeal the 16th Amendment as part of its language. I believe that it also states that the provisions of the Fair Tax would not be implemented before that repeal.
