The Fair Tax will not only capture the underground economy, tax cheats, and others when they spend their money but it also takes an equal amount from the average family. Correction: The Fair Tax will not only capture the underground economy, tax cheats....
When I do a service for $130, I can legally only keep $100 and must remit the $30 to the state. I have $100 to spend. When a drug dealer/prostitute get $130 they keep $130 and have $130 to spend. They cheated the fairtax system $30.

But, if they turn around and spend that $130, currently none of that goes to the feds. Under the Fair Tax, 23% of that, or $29.90 goes to the feds. They now get taxed.
