Yes. Remember a consumption tax puts power into the hands of workers and consumers. If they're not paid well, government revenues suffer and businesses lose profits from not being able to sell their good and services. So there's an incentive to make sure people are able to buy the things they need and corporations make a profit and the government is funded. After an initial period of uncertainty, considering its advantages, we'll wonder how we ever got along without the Fair Tax in the first place.

That means that in order to get their pork money it is to the politicians' benefit to make government actions beneficial to business as opposed to the strangulation by regulation and taxes that we see now.

However, we will still have to fight the left because killing the economy is a goal of theirs. Just as in Russia and China, we will have to see which wins out with the Communist (Democrats), their greed or their ideology.
