Politicians will always be politicians. The FairTax would not change this even though it’s cheerleaders assert that it would. The prebate would be one obvious area to manipulate one group against another. There are many other ways to play the game, with the income surtax on the “rich” being one of the most obvious, especially after the disaster of the FairTax unfolded. We would end up with both a sales tax and an income tax just like most of Europe...

Yep! But they would find it several orders of magnitude harder to do with the Fairtax what they are currently doing with ease under the income tax.

I prefer FREEDOM thank you!
