When the Fair Tax is implemented it will have a provision that requires the rescinding of all other tax laws and 2/3 vote.

The law that says "You must have a 2/3 majority to increase taxes" can be repealed by a simple majority vote in Congress and a willing President. At that point, all bets are off.

Well seeing as the law that implements the tax is the selfsame law that requires 2/3 to increase it, repealing that law will repeal the tax.

Then they will have to sell it all over again but with MORE tax burden. Yeah, that’s going to happen! /s
