The Fair Tax would completely strip the congress of the ability to enact the kind of social engineering we Freepers (are supposed to ) despise.It might eliminate their ability to impose 'special taxes', e.g. the taxes on cigarettes, but it wouldn't stop their social programs. (And I would bet it wouldn't be long until they reinstituted those 'special taxes'.)

Yeah, I know. As you read the thread further you’ll see I admit that. Would be nice if it slowed ‘em down a little though...
