"At least 30% of the taxes that would be collected by the FairTax will not be paid by citizens at the cash register, it would be paid by the federal, state, and local governments. The citizen will only see this hidden, embedded tax in increases in their state sales tax, their property tax, and state income tax."
And what exactly is wrong with driving all levels of governmental expenses out into the open and giving people the knowledge of the costs associated with these "services"? It will force people to chose between necessary services and frivolous entitlements, my guess is that an overall reduction at all levels of government would soon follow.
