Congress is powerful because of the tax laws. Business
can't plan ahead more than a 2 years because every election
brings new tax policies. Alter the tax code, perhaps H.R.
25 The Fair Tax Act, that will remove a lot of the day to
day special loopholes for one segment and also do away with
the IRS. Then taxes will be based on what you spend, not
what you earn. If Congressmen have less power they won't be
bribed as often because they would not be able to give
special favors.



I have not a clue as to what the Fair Tax Act calls for or does. But keep in
mind that like all laws that Congress passes it can be changed by yet
another law Congress passes.

Remember the law on unfunded mandates. Big news when that fine law passed.
There was no news when the one ending passed and passed it must have because
unfunded mandates are back.
