I’ve been leery of Fair tax but I’m warming up to it if it can be passed pretty much intact.
H.R. 25
>>To promote freedom, fairness, and economic opportunity by repealing the
income tax and other taxes, abolishing the Internal Revenue Service,
and enacting a national sales tax to be administered primarily by the
States.<<

Me too.
It's the "pure form" that creates the hurdle however.
Politicians thrive on "picking away" at things until they are no longer recognizable for what they are meant to be.
They can't help themselves.
Most people have been misinformed deliberately by the few that feel threatened by the FairTax Code, namely the more than 25,000 tax lobbyists that make their living on trading tax favors.
K Street has managed to amend the IRS Tax Code more than 17,000 times since the last major tax reform in 1986.
The number of tax lobbyists has more than quadrupled since 1986.
These tax lobbyists bribe lawmakers in the same way that certain industries and corporations bribed the Obama people to obtain exemptions in the Obamacare legislation.
K Street hates the FairTax because it is too transparent and it requires the 16th Amendment to be repealed. Without the 16th Amendment the corruption in DC will be decapitated.
