They have been saying that since 1999 on this forum. With the Dems in control of congress, the chances went from slim to none.
The Constitution took more than 12 years to ratify. And it was ratified only on condition that it incorporate the Bill of Rights. In those days the Continental Congress was genuinely concerned with responding to the People, so they incorporated the Bill of Rights.
The FairTax will take longer because it must overcome the lobbies of corruption which are used to buy Congress. Therefore, it will take the People to force a corrupt Congress to change.
The support for the FairTax is growing. It has never shrank. It is only a matter of time.
