You haven't paid attention to what the FairTax bill does. It not only creates a workable, simple revenue neutral system, it also eliminates the portions of the tax code relating to income tax in addition to de-funding the IRS and requiring all iT records to be destroyed.
Years ago when the Brits were getting rid of their first IT, gleeful bonfires were held by the citizens to do the burning of such records. Perhaps we should do something similar so you naysayers will be able to realize that the IT has died a very deserved death. The 16th amendment repeal is merely a stem to help make it harder to return.
The real killer, though, for the return if the IT is the preference of the American people for the FairTax once they have tasted its many benefits. If you think a simple majority vote would bring back the IT, you are quite mistaken or merely one of he naysaying fearmongers on the thread that cannot conceive of something they have not known in their lifetime - freedom from government oppression via the income tax.
Thanks pigdog, I omitted this from the other formidable obstacles to having both taxes that will only exist by passing the Fair Tax.
After all, how difficult would it be to recreate all of the requiste forms and infomration AND get everyone to agree to fill them out...after they were erased when the income tax code was erased?

Oh, but I have and I don't want a 'revenue neutral' form of taxation. I want less taxation. BTW, you'll only replace the IRS with another equally powerful and intrusive bureaucracy.
