I’ve been leery of Fair tax but I’m warming up to it if it can be passed pretty much intact.

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.

It eases my mind quite a bit that my congressman supports it. His record is second to none when it comes to taxes.

He was the founder of Michigan’s “NO” caucus and never once voted for a new tax or tax increase in his 14 years in the state senate.

In fairness, I've seen engineers, managers, educators, etc., do the same thing. I think it let's them believe that they are not just technicians. How it impacts the result is often immaterial.
