Certainly we do share many of the same objectives, but it is important to eliminate the income tax (along with the corresponding tax code) as well as the estate, gift, and other taxes that the FairTax rids us of. It also eliminates the IRS, defunds it, and requires destruction of the income tax recoprds.
To me, that is a much better base to proceed from in the 21st century.

It may well be a better base. My problem isn't so much with the idea of an NRST as it is with the idea that it will be a panacea solving all the problems with taxation. I'm not at all sure that it won't create as many problems as it solves.
I'm afraid that those who advocate the NRST are like a guy with a new girlfriend, being blinded by love, they really don't see everything. And, they certainly don't won't to be told their new girl might have a just a small blemish or two. I'm really advising caution more than anything else.
