Here's the rest of my post, which answers your objections.

And the prebates are MUCH simpler than the silly mess we have now- infact, they're much simpler than SS payments. If we use electronic cards, like debit cards, it can all be done with zero mail. The technology is already in place, and banks utilize it millions, maybe billions of times every day.

And the spending cuts will take care of themselves once the tax rate becomes a political football and people get sick of paying it every time they buy something.

Ummm, no you did not address it at all. See, in order to be revenue neutral, the fairtax must collect an extra $500 Billion for redistribution. Instead of collecting the nearly $2 Trillion in taxes, they will have to collect $2.5 Trillion. Is a $500 Billion redistribution program really a conservative idea?
