[QUOTE="GuyinBrown, post: 262016, member: 9444"] Bringing it to the floor for a vote and getting the majority to vote for it are substantially different things. If there are 65 congressmen ( and women ) behind this, ( I have to assume you're speaking about Representatives and not Senators ) then you'll still need 153 more to get behind it in order to guarantee it would pass ( in the House ). Then you'd only have to get the bill sponsored in the Senate and find a majority to pass it there as well. THEN... you have to get the House and the Senate to reconcile the language in the bills so it could become law. I do know a little bit about government and unfortunately, my opinion remains that this will never happen. Get them to abolish lobbyists first and then you might have a shot. Currently, there are too many opportunities for this to be derailed by those people who would be hurt by the "Fair Tax". [/QUOTE]
