Hah! Everyone who buys something today pays hidden taxes equal to the Fair Tax -- the Fair Tax simply makes them visible, remember?
Double the number of payers? Halve the number of payers, perhaps, as people switch over to used goods or cheat the system.
UH oh PR - you're off the reservation. Your handlers didn't tell you that business taxes per se plus compliance come to 9% of prices? THey're the ones who insist on it - I drove them to it.

Where do you store used food? How long do you think we can all drive used cars? Who's going to buy used toys at Christmas when little Bobbie wants the latest and greatest? If someone is selling used toothbrushes, I'll pass.
They are totally sold on the “permission to live” tax - sure - the politicians are going to listen “real good” when you are living like a cardboard box bum to “prove a point”
