i don't care if they call it Might Be More Fair Tax, National Sales Tax, Pay Your Gov Dues Tax, Give Me Your Cash Tax, but 'fair'tax is doublespeak regardless of its original intentions. my opinion, i'm entitled to it, it doesn't change any of my other questions or points, end of subject.

regarding "that's life" -- sure it is, but i'm not talking about the expenses themselves, i'm talking about the taxes on them as a way of funding our government in light of the word 'fair'.

I think I like the "kpp_kpp_kpp_kpp" Tax better (but it sure is a mouthful). As for 'that's life', it was some combination of your own choices and /or affairs beyond your control that put you in that particular circumstance. Those things were also often beyond control of the government (though they might think otherwise sometimes).

Paying taxes on consumption makes no judgement whether it is 'good', 'bad', 'fair', or 'unfair' - nor should it. The "kpp_kpp_kpp_kpp" Tax is just that - a tax to raise revenue for the government - it takes no notice of your social circumstances ... and that's quite a good change from the present system which pretends to be the Mother's Milk of Happenstance throwing funds out willy-nilly. There's nothing 'fair' about that, either.
