A) How would this Fair Tax affect the native american nations that have set up shop and refuse to pay any state tax?

The Fair Tax does not affect state taxes at all.

b) what would be the definition of New vs. used ie. could a car dealer drive a car around the block and sell it as used?

As with any taxation abuses may occur. While it is proposed that the IRS be abolished there would necessarily be an enforcement arm of the new entity. Such an overt abuse as driving a car around the block and selling it as used would and should be actionable, IMHO.

Here in central NY we have the Onieda Nation. They started with a bingo hall and evolved into a mega casino entertainment complex featuring golf courses, hotel and retail gas and cigarette outlets.

They're buying up land by the hand full and claiming it to be sovereign. I would suspect they would be exempt from the fair tax start selling everything.

Maybe my point is they're a perfect example of what one can due when they are not burden with taxes.

Why is that an "abuse"? It sounds exactly what any good businessman would do. It's the kind of tax avoidance that I or any reasonable person would do.

So we're back where we started, eh? Just what "action" do you propose be taken against people who arrange their affairs so as to not pay the tax. Put them in jail? Take away their house? Put them through an audit to make sure that they are paying their taxes correctly?

And this differs from the current situation, how?
