Could someone help me with this question? I was asked what would prevent ambitious politicians from corrupting a consumption tax with this and that break for favored groups just as they do now and have always done with the income tax? On page 166 of The Fairtax Book, the authors state that legislators would be limited to raising the Fairtax rate on everyone equally but I don't think they explain here what enforces this limitation.
Thanks.
Tom
