I'd love to know of a society where no one has to pay taxes. It has never existed.

I'd like to know how you'll convince people who already paid taxes on their saved money, that they should pay another 20% (or more) when they spend it.

You miss the the point. The Fair Tax doesn't tax INCOME. It taxes CONSUMPTION. You can put the money away in the bank or an investment account and its tax free. As far the government is concerned, it doesn't exist because it doesn't tax income. However, when you do BUY something, then you are taxed - but you are taxed only ONCE.
