Simple - there are no income tax (or other) forms relating to income that a taxpayer needs to fill out with the FaitrTax and there is only a single rate which affects everyone the same.

Efforts to change that rate or hide preferences in the bill have no "hooks" to be latched onto. The rate is visible to all. Both you and I pay the same rate just as does Bill Gates and Bill Clinton.

I said, "And how does the 'FairTax' change this??"

Your reply: Simple - there are no income tax (or other) forms relating to income that a taxpayer needs to fill out with the FaitrTax and there is only a single rate which affects everyone the same.

What I meant was, or perhaps you are misunderstood my point. I meant what would prevent a future Congress from mucking up the 'FairTax' just like the current system. Guaranteed: the 'FairTax' will get encrusted with exceptions, loopholes, provisions, etc. just like now.
