No, they will never get it.
(Therefore the nrst/fairtax/consumption tax is truly a “permission to live” tax - you must spend to live, therefore you must pay the tax - they will never care how you got the money, or how many times it has already been taxed, just that they get their tax)

Now, extrapolate this a little... what items does (or can) the government control prices on (and therefore raise)?? - basic necessities - but they try to hide this behind the socialist prebate scheme....

The 'milk cartels" come to mind, and gasoline, and grain, and....

Nonsense. Where are the voters in your dream scene that allow this to happen having passed the FairTax and gotten rid of the income tax??? Sitting on their thumbs??? Shame on them.

If there’s sufficient voter impetus to pass the FairTax, there’s enough to keep it on a reasonable course for quite a while since most taxpayers will be happy to be out of the clutches of the IRS and paying lower taxes to boot.

This, of course, does not apply to those now illegally not paying income taxes. They’ll pay the FairTax when they consume just like everyone else.
