The FairTaxers insist all adhere to the issues as defined by them and ignore obvious omissions such as the effect of tax evasion through black market transactions.
Not to mention the HUGE negative effect on the prices of imported products...

Actually, it's not HUGE at all - merely the cost of the item plus the effective FairTax to end up with the cost of the imported thing (taxed for the first time).

That should certainly help boost sales of US made products, don't you think, since those prices will drop before having the FairTax imposed ? At least there will be a level playing field for taxing both types of products whereas now there is not.
