In your example, if those cars cost $20,000 for each person and the Fair Tax was 15%, then the rich guy paid 1.2% of his gross income in taxes on that car while the poor guy paid 12% of his gross income in taxes on that car.

What's the big deal? This is exactly how every state with a sales tax works, isn't it?

And like the rich guy and the poor guy are going to be shopping for the same kind of car....

Yes, that is correct. That is how sales taxes work. And sales taxes are regressive. We are stuck with sales taxes but I'll be damned if I'd ever cast a vote for a politician advocating the regressive Fair Tax system.

A flat tax, yes, a regressive tax, no.
