With the Fair Tax, your hated recreational and black-market prescription drug dealers would have to pay their fair share of taxes.

Well, let's see - there is no income tax so the durg dealer's customer isn't paying tax on his income (nor does the dealer owe tax on his income). Will the dealer charge his customer the sales tax an forward it to the government? Not likely. so how does this fair share of taxes get paid?

Every time something legitimate is purchased.

This isn't rocket science.

But if the drug dealer doesn't charge the 23% Fair Tax and forward that money to the federal government ... isn't that, like, illegal? Boy, will he get in trouble. That's a federal offense!

(Wanna bet he charges the 23% and keeps it, making him richer than before? "Hey, kid, sorry about the price goin' up, you know? This Fair Tax thing is a bitch, huh?")
