Yes I agree we need a change.
I like the fair tax also.
However;

Without removal of the Income tax from the constitution we WILL end up with both. Not today, not tomorrow, but eventually.

The fair tax is a dead horse with out the removal of the constitutional incometax.

It won't take long. Soon after the new tax system is passed—perhaps during the transition period—Congress will impose a "supplemental" or "emergency" surcharge on the incomes of the "wealthy." Despite all assurances that this will be a temporary measure, it will never go away. Instead, it will grow to include more and more people who do not think of themselves of wealthy. (Remember the AMT?) We will be stuck with the worst of both systems.

Without the removal of selfish politicians we will always have self-serving, non-responsive government.

Grab what you can while you can (the FairTax) and fight for the rest as we go,
