No matter what tax system we are subject to, there will always be special interest group that will lobby congress. It is our job to hold the politicians feet to the fire not to cave in. In order to relieve the politicians of this power over us with string attached, we would need a well written amendment to the constitution. Example: All federal revenue shall be derived from a national tax of no more than or less than 15% of value of goods and services paid by the end user of goods and services.
