The 16th Amendment allows Congress to levy taxes on income. This results in punishment of success, because the more an individual earns the more the government feels entitled too. Taxes are included in the price of retail products, meaning companies do not pay taxes, but individuals pay taxes for companies. When an individual itemizes his taxes, he must claim any refund from the previous year, resulting in a double taxtion on that income. When companies are no longer required to pay corporate taxes, all outsourced jobs would return to the United States, and immediately the unemployment rate would fall to near 0%. Jobs would be at a surplus. The FairTax would increase revenue more than any progressive income tax, while rewarding hard work and success. FairTax.org for more information.
