The Fair Tax is regressive and unfair to low income families. Some would argue that socialism requires regressive taxes.

The Fair Tax is less regressive than the system we now have when you include the social security and medicaid taxes.

True, but don't forget that many low income people do receive government benefits that others would not. That mitigates any extra burden they may face due to paying social security and medicaid taxes.
