Well if we drop the fictitious pretense corporations and businesses pay taxes, why wouldn't we not see them pass on the savings to their customers? Every one knows individuals pay taxes. That's the problem with the economic illiteracy in this country - people like to think some rich imaginary corporation will foot the bill, not them. The FairTax is revenue neutral since in the real world, the politicians are not going to give us back everything we'd like. So its understandable there are trade-offs.

Some people may think that, I am under no such misconception. But only C corporations pay corporate taxes and the amount of revenue collected as income and payroll taxes dwarfs the corporate taxes.

I am in favor of eliminating all corporate taxes within the present system, along with spending reductions.

I guess you're going to ignore the fact that I said my customers would pay (30%) MORE for my service not less...what savings are you talking about exactly?

I would still have to pay tax when I spend my money...That's why they call it a "replacement" tax.
