I can only support a change to the Fair Tax if is requires a Constitutional ammendment repealing the income tax. Without that, there is nothing to prevent a future Congress from re-imposing an income tax.

Name one position any of the candidates have taken that can’t be abolished by a future Congress.
The claim that a good thing can’t be supported because it could in the future be corrupted is poor reasoning.

House Joint Resolution 16 has been introduced before Congress to abolish the IRS. It is the start of the process to repeal the 16th Amendment. Americans For Fair Taxation(AFFT) is working concurrently to have the 16th Amendment repealed. You can get involved by joining AFFT instead of waiting on the sidelines for other people to do the work.

There has been nothing to stop Congress from passing such legislation in the past except for one obstacle. Congress critters are painfully aware passing a consumption tax while maintaining a federal income tax would cause outrage from the people tantamount to the level felt when Congress twice attempted to grant amnesty to illegal aliens this summer. Congress quickly backed down after experiencing such anger. The last thing politicians want is millions of constituents flooding their offices with angry calls, faxes and emails.
