[Always Right]

I have better things to do than to spend my entire weekend writing an economic paper detailing how the Fair Tax is a house of cards built on a shaky foundation of assumptions.

Very wise. I waste too much time trying to explain basics economic realities to the fairtax supporters. You already seem to have a full grasps of the shortcomings. Conceptually it is a good plan, but there is no way you can just switch over from an income tax to a consumption tax and not throw the entire economy into chaos.
