This is over and above the small detail that the Demonrats are in charge of Congress, so any reform that doesn't make government bigger and more glorious will never see the light of day.
People had the same skepticism concerning a woman's right to vote but a strong grassroots effort,similar to The Fair Tax, resulted in the 19th amendment.

The only way this could work is if there was a constitutional amendment banning payroll taxes, income based taxes, toll roads, excise taxes, fees for service, and all of the other countless gimmes the federal and state governments have imposed over the years. Otherwise, they’ll just want more and they’ll take it. The lawsuit over the phone tax is a classic example. Some people paid that tax for sixty years. They got a $30.00 credit, if they knew enough to take it on this year’s 1040.

I hope your comments made you feel good, because they do nothing to convince me that this will ever be anything more than a pipe dream.
Dream on, buddy.

Two points:
1. that was along time ago in a far far away reality.
2.When women got the vote is the exact point this country started to go to hell.
