And how will the US Treasury do that work with out adding a new division to oversee collection and remittance? Thus meaning more regulation and more employees , equaling more government bureaucracy. Abolishing the IRS is just a slogan to hype the plan.

BTW I have read it and heard it all.

"BTW I have read it and heard it all. "

If so, you may have overlooked the part that says:

"`(10) SALES TAX ADMINISTERING AUTHORITY- The term `sales tax administering authority' means--

`(A) the State agency designated to collect and administer the sales tax imposed by this subtitle, in an administering State, or

`(B) the Secretary, in a State that is neither--

`(i) an administering State, nor

`(ii) a State that has elected to have its sales tax administered by an administering State."

Which language shows that the job of administering the FairTax would fall on he states - and they are paid from the tax revenues for doing so (as the paper both defines and accounts for in its math).

And possibly you even missed the first few words of the bill when you read it which are:

"To promote freedom, fairness, and economic opportunity by repealing the income tax and other taxes, abolishing the Internal Revenue Service, and enacting a national sales tax to be administered primarily by the States. "

The basic infrastructure is already in place by having the U.S. Treasury collect the tax. It will only need to be modified. Modifying an existing infrastructure will be far less costly than the $11 billion it costs to run the the IRS. The income tax code consists of 60,000+ pages. The Fair Tax code is 133 pages creating far less government regulation.

Abolishing the IRS is just a slogan to hype the plan.

Abolishing the IRS is in the Fair Tax Act H.R.25 bill! Section 301 states" Appropriations for any expenses of the Internal Revenue Service including processing tax returns for years prior to the repeal of the taxes repealed by title I of this Act, revenue accounting, management, transfer of payroll and wage data to the Social Security Administration for years after fiscal year 2009 24 shall not be authorized"

Eliminating funds for the IRS will eliminate the IRS!

Based on your comments above and in your previous posts you obviously haven't read anything, particularly in H.R.25. Whatever you heard was misinformation. I suggest you read the bill before you make anymore erroneous statements.
