There is no pay raise with the FairTax plan, as many of us have stated, and been ridiculed for stating.

The "FairTax" crowd is deluding none save themselves.

There is no pay raise with the Fair Tax.

Workers get their pay free of federal withholding though. Is that an increase in pay? Not to me.

It just changes the timing of paying tax. Today, a portion of taxes are paid from your paycheck before you see it (withholding). Under the nrst, you pay your taxes later when you buy something.
