Is replacing the income tax any harder than getting women the right to vote?
In a word, no. There are many grassroots movements that have changed this country for the better. The American Revolution a bit of a tax revolt is only the first. The farmers of Western Pennsylvania stood up next in the Whiskey Rebellion. Women’s suffrage is another. Passing Prohibition was the grassroots with good intentions; repealing Prohibition was the grassroots sobered with practicality. The union movement of the 1930s and the civil rights movement of the 1960s were both grassroots movements where the people united and forced changes through legislatures long before it could have been predicted otherwise. And who expected to see the Berlin Wall come down so quickly? Yes, a united grassroots has delivered startling improvements to our country and the world before, and with the FairTax (and your Farm Bureau), it will happen again. And soon. Take a look at your paycheck stub or tax return. Now imagine working with your gross income. Yes, that is the first difference you will notice
