How so? If someone paid a painter $600 in cash under the table to paint his house, how would the FairTax catch this?

Unless the painter took the $600 cash and burned it, the Fair Tax will catch it when he spends it.

As does the current system. Or are you just lying to us when you tell us goods right now have 25% embedded tax already in them? You guys argue out of both sides of your mouth.
