Rules by which congress operates must be changed

I wanted to write today highlighting the most impressive aspects of the FairTax, urge you to learn more about it and then become an active supporter of adoption of the FairTax. It's a national sales tax that would REPLACE the current income tax and abolish the IRS within three years. Its adoption would usher in a period of economic growth and individual prosperity that no living American has ever experienced. But frankly, it doesn't have the proverbial "snow balls' chance in hell" of being adopted. Our thoroughly corrupt congress, both republicans and democrats, are drunk on the power they have through the income tax and IRS. Yes, the income tax and IRS are dearly beloved by Ds and Rs alike. They WILL NEVER VOTE to replace the income tax or abolish the IRS.

The rules by which congress operates MUST BE CHANGED BEFORE REAL CHANGE COMES TO WASHINGTON. Congress certainly won't propose amending the constitution in such a way as to limit its power and reach. But, an Article V Convention of the States surely will. I urge you, even plead with you, please learn about the Convention of States movement, https://conventionofstates.com/. Become involved in the effort in your state
