And you never knew how much that amounted to since you didn't know how much you paid in taxes - and that includes hidden taxes, too, Now you'll know.

How do you figure? We have established that hidden taxes will still exist. Who knows, it may prove to be more politic to raise excise and "certain other" taxes than the FairTax.

"We have established that hidden taxes will still exist."

Actually "we" have established no such thing. You have claimed that but when I speak of hidden taxes I specifically mean those caused by the income tax system an the associated other costs as well. These are done away with by the FairTax.

With the FairTax in place it will become far more easily noticed to see that taxes are being raised as most of the populace will be much more attuned to realizing that a tax increase is a tax increase since everyone will be paying the FairTax and will not be to pleased to see any taxes raised whereas now many think that others pay all the taxes.
