Question does the fair tax get rid of all the taxes or just the ones on your check. I.E. phone tax, gas tax, etc. etc. etc..
Those are excise taxes, and will remain unfortunately.

The FairTax legislation repeals all federal income and payroll taxes, and gift/estate taxes, covering about 94% of federal revenue collections.
Specific excises and tariffs are still left on the books, though like you I would like to see the others gone as well. Good time to push for that to be added to the bill. Write Linder and your Congress Critters and tell them your desires on that one. The FairTax legislation should cover ALL, 100% of federal taxes, not just 94%. It should be a clean sweep, I'm right behind you there.
