When I said federal, vs. national, I didn’t just mean the IRS. I agree the IRS is a major burden. I mean Government and Politicians. I don't trust those Politicians, do you? I'm not convinced that 23% would be the end. They will find a way to increase it. It's the nature of that beast

That isn't an objection that is specific to the FairTax. It would apply to any tax system. The current debate should be to put in place a system which intrudes the least relative to our constitutional liberties, is the least economically destructive and the least administratively burdensome.
