You might like to see the following code from the FairTax bill and see if you think it's intent is to improve or not:
`SECTION 1. PRINCIPLES OF INTERPRETATION.
`(a) IN GENERAL- Any court, the Secretary, and any sales tax administering authority shall consider the purposes of this subtitle (as set forth in subsection (b)) as the primary aid in statutory construction.
`(b) PURPOSES- The purposes of this subtitle are as follows:
`(1) To raise revenue needed by the Federal Government in a manner consistent with the other purposes of this subtitle.
`(2) To tax all consumption of goods and services in the United States once, without exception, but only once.
`(3) To prevent double, multiple, or cascading taxation.
`(4) To simplify the tax law and reduce the administration costs of, and the costs of compliance with, the tax law.
`(5) To provide for the administration of the tax law in a manner that respects privacy, due process, individual rights when interacting with the government, the presumption of innocence in criminal proceedings, and the presumption of lawful behavior in civil proceedings.
`(6) To increase the role of State governments in Federal tax administration because of State government expertise in sales tax administration.
