I don’t know if any of the members here have been following the Fairtax or not. The reason I am posting this is to give an invite to an important rally concerning this issue in Columbia S.C May 15th.
The Fairtax has been gaining momentum steadily over the past few years. I think that we are about to reach a critical point where it will finally make it to the floor in congress to be discussed seriously.
However the only way that this will happen is if voters keep it in front of their representatives constantly.
To this end Neal Boortz(Atlanta based radio host and co-author of the Fairtax Book) is trying to get 10,000 people to attend this rally.
I am including some links with info on the rally and the Fairtax.

Ranger DixieRat you are absolutely correct. This is an essential part of the program.
This is an excerpt from Fairtax.org:
Could we end up with both the FairTax and an income tax?
No current supporter of the FairTax would support the FairTax unless the entire income tax is repealed. Moreover, concurrent with the repeal of the income tax, a constitutional amendment repealing the 16th Amendment and prohibiting an income tax will be pushed through Congress for ratification by the states (filed as HJR 16 in the 109th Congress).
