Why wouldn't Congress be able to tinker with the national sales tax?

because it would be a death wish for a politician to raise the tax ...because it would affect all americans and not just the "slimy evil" rich... if the Fair tax was passed, I wouldnt ever expect it to change even slightly.. if a politician were to vote to raise the tax, he would be voted out of office faster then a john kerry presidential run.

It is not that they wouldn't or couldn't! Its that it is a lot more obvious and people are reminded every time they purchase anything.
