Don’t mis-read me here. I am not overly enamoured of the “Fair Tax” as writtten. There are several issues about the proposal that I find objectionable. That said, I’m certainly willing to give it a try as the current system is punative and unworkable.
I agree..in the absence of repealing the 16th ammendment, a procedure that should administratively precede the implementation of the FairTax..I’m not about to trust Capitol Hill. IMHO, the best way to go about is at the state level...each legislature voting to repeal the 16th and implement the FairTax...It will never happen from inside the beltway...and probably should’nt even be tried as they would like to wind up with nothing more than BOTH!!
