"Dense" is probably too light a word for you. But let's not haggle about semantics.
And so you think Rangel (who'd like both taxes) is better off having the income tax in operation as a base to add whatever sales tax he dreams up onto? Keep in mind that with the FairTax he'd have to completely build the income tax back up from the ground up - including its funding and the tax code itself - and somehow find all of those income tax records that had been burned.
So you have the temerity to call ME "... the dumbest guy on the site ..."? You haven't even read the bill quite obviously. It sounds like you're on Charlie's side to help him get us both taxes at once. Even Dick Armey, when active in politics, recognize that one way to try to slow down the push for the FairTax was to insist the 16th had to be repealed first.
That's merely a delaying tactic.
