Except you left out (on purpose?) the deductions people now receive when they itemize, in which case your average middle income homeowner and/or self-employed small business owner is likely going to be paying more in taxes. Maybe a lot more.

I am a self employed person. I get money from my clients so I can pay my Taxes, I’m nothing more, just like everyone else, a conduit to collect taxes from my clients and pass that money it on to local, state and federal governments.

All a fair tax does is bring the tax load from the hiding in paperwork and putting into the sunshine where every time you, the end user of goods and services know how much the government are taxing us. Would it shock you to know 41 Cent out of very $1.00 you spends pays for taxes? If it was on your sale receipt and you see it, maybe, just maybe, you would scream bloody murder if politicians wanted to raise the rates instead of wasting money and becoming overpowering with regulation.
