The Fair tax would not only eliminate the useless IRS, but it would target the underground economy that currently pays ZERO taxes.
As a matter of fact, people in Congress (and Rahm's brother, apparently) are cognizant of the fact that there is a growing underground economy where people don't pay income taxes.

IMO, the underground economy is already massive...has been for years. Now that the statute of limitations has run out I can admit that I also was part of that "cash and barter only" economy for about six years of my working life, with no gov't assistance.
