Still can't find the part where laws won't be passed forcing all Americans to show proof that of "legal" purchase. And there's no mention of how this ridiculous plan will only sire a burgeoning black market which will beget even greater tax-related invasion into our privacy.

Under the inappropriately-named "fair tax," the old phrase of "Your papers, please" will soon become "Your receipt, please." And don't think the government won't start keeping tabs on what you purchase. Governments practically live to accumulate information on the citizenry.

There are tens of millions of people not paying any income tax NOW. The way I see it, there will always be corruption and the same amount of money will flow into the government pockets, it will just be collected differently.

Quite to the contrary, the bill contains requirements that individual persons must produce documentation if they suspect you owe tax.
