Christian tithing increases because people now have 22.65% to 34.65% more spending money in their paychecks.

Now there's a load of crap!! FairTax does nothing but shift tax liabiliy to the end user and if you think businesses are going to provide wholesale price reductions to consumers you know nothing about business.

“FairTax does nothing but shift tax liabiliy to the end user”

The current tax system already taxes the end user, but it taxes the other end: Your income rather than your consumption. In the end, under any tax system, all taxes are paid by individuals.

So let me see if I have this right. Business' who currently pass on their corporate and other taxes onto the consumer; when freed of those tax burdens, will not lower their pricing accordingly?

That will last until one business person (who does understand business) lowers his price, passing on his tax savings to the consumer.
