It stands to reason that when a plethora of taxes are eliminated, this should reduce the cost to businesses

But they aren't removing a plethora of taxes. The primary taxes that are being removed are being given to the employees in the form of "keep 100% of your paycheck". I've listed the taxes that will be removed and they don't add up to even 10%. Let's see your analysis rather than your platititudes.

We really don't know if taxes will rise under a FairTax system.

We do know they plan to start by adding a 30% tax on every retail purchase, that is a tax rise.

No, they plan to start by eliminating the taxes that the nrst will replace. Further, the tax is not on every retail purchase.
