"By taxing governments purchases and the wages of their employees, the FairTax is effectively "hiding" ~25% of the federal tax burden in our state and local taxes."

Or could it be that 25% of the true cost of the state and local government is hidden in Federal subsidies via deductions?

I don't think either achieve transparency of the tax burden.
