This would be an amazing idea to bad though that a "reform" such as this would as many have stated an increase rather then fair tax. Graduated taxes will never go anywhere it is something that we have welcomed within our liberal capitalism economy. When the graduated income tax was introduced it was one of the greatest reforms in American History at the time. Sounded great because of redistribution on wealth and creating a middle class. NOW the middle class are taxed to death and the redistrbution goes straight up to the upper class. No IRS **** yes that would be the greatest day for all americans, but that will never happen with any political party fact is, all politicans are crooks and we argue simply over who is the lesser of the evils.

I know that it looks hopeless for the "fair tax" now but with economies like Greece collapsing around us, some country is going to scrap its progressive income tax system and try something entirely different. If that country's economy booms, then it could start a domino effect.
