and incorrectly so since many expenditures are not taxed under the FairTax

Which ones?

What about services? I don't pay a tax on my doctor visits. Will I under the FairTax?

I just plugged in the numbers for my wife and I after we do our planned early retirement into the "FairTax Calculator"(http://www.fairtaxcalculator.org), and the "FairTax" would result in an increase of about 19% in Federal taxes over the system we have now.  No thanks!!

You certainly do, but I agree that you seem blissfully unaware of that. You've paid taxes on everything you spend there in the form of income tax.

For every $100 you pay the doctor, you actually had to earn a bit over $130 at the 28% income tax rate and pay the income tax thereon to have the $100 to fork over to Dr. Kildare.
