It seems to me that an income tax is much more fair than a consumption tax. Those who receive an income are much more capable of paying taxes than those who are dependent on their savings for the necessities of life. All my life, I've managed to pay income taxes, and put some savings aside so as to be able to take care of myself when I will not be receiving income. And now these scumbags want to come along and confiscate what I've put aside so that they may enjoy more current $.
And create the largest entitlement system in history.

As has been noted, there's no "confiscation" at all. there is only the spending the taxpayer decides to do for taxable items. Any new income under the FairTax is not taxed at all. It is the consumption that is taxed ... and as shown in the Calculator, many things are not taxed.
Have you done as suggested and used the FairTax Calculator to determine your effective tax rate under the FairTax??? If not, you're merely falling for the balderdash put out by the anti-FairTax lobby and not determining your own position.
