I really do need to do some more reading and educate myself more on both systems.

You certainly do as all your concerns are addressed. Our present system is full of hidden taxes, that is why they withhold from paychecks so that you never see the money you pay, while the sales tax, only on new items at retail and services, are right out there in the open for all to see. We want everyone to know how much they are paying for government.

The poor and everyone else get a check to cover the taxes on essentials based on number in the family and the current government determined poverty level.

It is by far the best. An individual tax payer never has to keep a receipt nor file a return, not even a postcard.

You are correct. Hidden and mandated taxes are killing us. State, county, city and many other taxes are also to blame. More than 50% of my income is taxed and I don't see how these will go away if there is a Fair Tax.

But you do have to tell them your location, age, and dependency status every month so they can send you the monthly welfare check prebate.
