Are you considering the payroll tax? If you include that, not too many people don't pay taxes on their income.

How many pimps, prostitutes, drug dealers, back room gamblers, pool hustlers, ad infinitum do you know that pay a payroll tax or an income tax? How many fabulously wealthy individuals who derive their entire incomes from municipal bonds?

I actually don't know any pimps, prostitutes, drug dealers, back room gamblers, or pool hustlers. But I pretty sure that the majority of their customers had there income taxed. So either way the tax is/would be paid. This is a wash. The idea that the FairTax would gain revenue from the underground economy is another one of the FairTaxer myths.
