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?
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.

Yes but THEIR incomes aren't no matter how much you spin and spin and spin.

I also note that you conveniently "forgot" to address those who legally earn their entire incomes from tax free sources.
