Nice Theory. It will never happen - the tax industry, and the 47% of the population that doesn’t pay taxes will ensure it is DOA.

My personal objection to it is that the voters of this country aren’t smart enough to repeal the 16th Amendment. Otherwise, we will see a sales tax on top of income tax.

How would you like to be the politician up for re-election if the Fair Tax is passed but the 16th is not repealed? One will give or the other.
