Actually, check out the bill. The FairTax bill not only implements the FairTax, it also eliminates income, SS, estate, corporate, capital gains, etc. taxes, ends the IRS, and introduces a resolution to repeal the 16th Amendment, ensuring no income tax could again be raised in the future. They've got that issue covered :-)

I promise you if enabling legislation for a national sales tax is ever drafted and passed all promised tax eliminations before the fact will fall away like rain off of a duck.

The income tax is going no where ever, this is just the method by which enough public support can be gathered to permit the drafting of a national sales tax legislation.

There is a push on to get a national sales tax, and if enough people are foolish enough to fall for the bait and switch routine we will have both taxes.

The sad Irony of this is that the Republican party of limited government and lower taxes must be the one to pull this trickery off; it will be the largest single tax increase and the largest expansion of government in recorded history.

Just like Nixon, the anticommunist McCarthite, opening up trade with Communist China. Only those opposed to a thing can fool their supporters into accepting that very thing.
