I don’t like the prebate part of the plan. It makes the tax rate go too high, makes it more difficult and expensive to administer, hurts privacy, and keeps the poor from paying their fair share.

The Fair Tax was written to be revenue neutral. The rate is far lower than the over all tax burden we pay today. See post #29. I don't know how you define "fair share" since it is a vague term but only a very tiny percentage will not pay any tax after the prebate.

revenue neutral == unlimited taxation, and unlimited spending.

like a bandaid for an amputation.
