I hope you are right, but honestly, I really don't see any ground swell for tax reform out there.

I suggest you consider the 74 cosponsors for The Fair Tax. They didn't sign on out of altruism. They did so because of pressure from an increasing number of constituents who made it clear politicians either support The Fair Tax or risk losing their jobs.

Don't overstate it. That 74 cosponsors is about twice as many as there were back 8 or so years ago when I first got attracted to the Fair Tax, but it sure as hell does not represent any kind of ground swell.

There is still a long, tough row to hoe before we will see Congress seriously consider it. And that is the point when the really tough fight will start.
