Fair Tax

Why aren't our citizens more knowledgable about the Fair Tax? It seems to me that if you pay taxes you would want a system that would serve you better than what the IRS has in place now.
But then, when I speak to my neighbors about the Fair Tax, they just look blank or say something like: "You mean added value tax? Not me, brother, I pay enough now!" and that statement tells me they are as misinformed or uninformed as you may be. Their are so many advantages to the Fair Tax system that it would take a book to list them all and there are books out there that can explain it in layman's terms. If you haven't taken the time to research the real fair tax then I suggest you do as it is the only way we are going to get this country back on its feet. Although I disagree on most things with Neal Bortz, he does have an excellent book out on the Fair Tax and it hits the nail on the head.
