Question The Fair Tax

I listen to "The Neal Boortz Show" about every day on the radio. When I first started listening, he was talking about the "fair tax". The more I listened, the more I liked the idea. They're trying to get enough sponsors in congress and the senate to put it to a vote. I bought both books about it, written by Congressman John Linder and Boortz. They're very informative. I was just wondering if any of yall have heard of this and what you think of the idea and whether you'd support it, if it were to come before the American people for a vote? I like the idea of getting rid of the IRS and not having to file income taxes anymore. Everyone would only have to pay taxes on what they spend.
I think it would help to bring businesses back to this country instead of outsourcing to avoid all those corporate taxes we have now. It could create jobs. Even though most tax lawyers would be out of a job. I'm sure they'd find jobs elsewhere. It would make the tax system "transparent". You'd know exactly what you're paying for. What do yall think?
