The 1986 reform may not have been all bad, however the tax code has been amended of 14,000 times since then. The present code is nothing more than 60,000 pages of loopholes for special interests. The FairTax would be transparent. The public would be totally aware if the politicians monkeyed with the rate. They would almost have to explain any rate increase up front. And raising the rate would be the only way to pacify some special interest.
