The people won’t pass this tax because they are opposed to the very concept of equal taxation. To say nothing of the elite’s contempt for equality.

A national sales tax failed the first time around in the thirties because the progressive tax advocates were the vast majority then as now. That is why the Fair Tax has a sop to the progressives with the prebate.
