[Your Nightmare]

Your claim that the current income tax code is more visible than a retail sales tax would be removes any chance at credibility you might have.

Explain to me how the the $350+ billion in FairTax the state and local governments would be paying on their purchases and the wages of their employees would be "visible" to a person buying something at retail.

You lose all credibility by denying that under the FairTax, our federal tax burden would not be paid entirely through individual retail purchases. A very large portion of our federal tax burden would be "hidden" in our state and local taxes.
