no it does not.

I will simply hire the lobbyist to increase the porkbate to cover my industry.

I will simply hire the lobbyist to exempt or reduce my tax exemption.

I will simply hire the lobbyist to end any tarrif examiniation for my products which I import.

I will lobby my pet legislators for legislation that defines transactions as where the contract has a forum selection clause rather than where my salesman and customer are located.

I will solicit votes based on “living prebate” promises because EVERYONE deserves a government funded SUV.

And there will indeed be many additional lobbyists available to do that work on the appropriations side because as of now, over 50% of the lobbyists in DC are there to manipulate the tax code, not appropriations. Perhaps they will all move over to the other side, but that is a different question.

What tax exemption? Under the Fair Tax, there are none. There are also no federal business income taxes to lobby on. How do they reduce it below zero?

What's to stop you from doing that now, and what does that have to do with income taxes? The tax will be paid at retail, not at the tariff house.

What are you trying to say? You will attempt to define a Retail sales as a B to B sale but I don't really understand what private contracts have to do with it?

If you are trying to say that the Sales Tax isn't perfect, then I agree. But it is sure a hell of a lot better than our current monster system --- unless you happen to be a tax lawyer, lobbyist, on-the-take congress critter or IRS employee.
