"There is nothing fair in it: replacement of income tax by a consumption tax means stealthy introduction of double taxation on every after-tax saver; pretty much like death taxes, but this time on people still alive."

I have to assume from your comments that you are not familiar with the FairTax plan, are you? There are safeguards built into the proposal to address each of your concerns. Please read the bill and then come on board.
