Popularity is not the same thing as good
, neither is acceptance.
If you think of yourself so highly that you hold ‘your amendment’ to be ‘good’ in the face of zero support, and that zero support by others must be because they do not recognize your ‘good’ amendment, then you are delusional.
The FairTax is not going to get 100% following but it has a large and growing following of people that are not delusional and can see the myriad benefits and advantages of the FairTax.
The FairTax is not complex, the Rebate is not complex. The legislation is only 133 pages long. It is amazingly simple in its design and it is by far the most fair and most supported tax reform in the nation today.
The Flat tax has about 6 sponsors to the FairTax’s 55. Those sponsors have staffs and constituents with professional training in law, taxation and business. They are capable of understanding how important the FairTax is.
Your amendment is so full of holes and inconsistencies that it will never be taken seriously.
For example, your amendment cannot coexist with the 16th Amendment. You would have to first repeal the 16th Amendment.
But once the 16th is repealed, your section 5 which is inconsistent with your section 1, would be unconstitutional, and your section 6 would be unnecessary due to the uniformity clause. And the list just goes on and on.
In short, your amendment looks like an amateur’s exercise in making a list of rants look like some sort of edict.
I’ll tell you what, get just 2 members of Congress to sponsor your amendment, and I will reconsider my judgement that your amendment is rubbish.
