No guarantee that the same exact thing couldn't/wouldn't happen to the FT. None whatsoever.

With the current state or our government, nothing is guaranteed. But when more Americans understand what is going on, they tend to be more interested. Let's face it, as a nation of people, per capita, we are likely the most ignorant in the world of our own political affairs. We are apathetic as a result of our bloated prosperity. Most Americans do not even realize how great they have it. They invent causes to champion to add self worth instead of understanding what causes might benefit the nation and future generations.

Try and explain simple economics to the Hollywood Elite that are patting themselves on the back for opening schools in 3rd world countries or contributing to foundations to feed the world. They are likely to have hopping fits trying to grasp it. Most actors don't even understand how a bill is passed or what the role of the separate but equal branches of government are.

If I sat with you to review the 50 page budget of a $100 million dollar project, we might start with the cost of a tap fee for a water main connection. A week later, we would be talking about landscape service fees and will have covered everything from the cost of door knobs to roofing systems. What if I just show you a picture of the building and tell you it is $100 Million Dollars. You say, "That's too much. We need a smaller building."

The tax code today can't be wrapped in a neat picture and citizens glaze over. The Fair Tax is simpler.

Trust me, most AMERICANS don’t understand these things. Actors as a class are probably only slightly dumber than average.
