LAWYERS make up the bulk of Congress (DEMS and REPS).  

Lawyers’ (and accountants’) education, experience, and motivation prominently involve making money out of chaos.  Herein lies the primary explanation for the complexity of all our legislation and our tax code. (NOTE: The Founding Fathers were not dominated by lawyers; therefore you can read and understand the Constitution… despite its archaic language.)

Manipulation of the tax code is obscured by the complexity of the code and the complexity of the process… that is, the whole process is hidden from the taxpayer.

The Fair Tax process would simplify taxation and make it nearly impossible to raise taxes without the population recognizing what is happening.  Do you seriously think lawyers and accountants would support this?  

From whence comes the courage to even introduce the Fair Tax?  Lawyers and accountants are rarely noted for their courage or altruism.  Would that lawyers adopt a Jeffersonian intellect and persona.

My thesis is therefore, STOP SENDING LAWYERS AND ACCOUNTANTS TO REPRESENT YOU IN CONGRESS!  They are not trained to serve you.
