The FairTax does HELP with spending by making federal tax revenues transparent.
True the FairTax is not a solution to out of control spending but the Fairtax does provide an important piece of the arsenal for slaying the spending dragon.
To control the spending problem requires reform of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913.
Notice that both the 16th and the Federal Reserve Act were both acomplished in 1913 under an arrogant academic president by the name of Woodrow Wilson, the absolute worst president in the history of the United States. The ratification and passage of 16th and the FRA in the same year is not a coincidence. And both were under the radar with the first post-16th income tax at only 1% on more than 98% of Americans.
“The FairTax does HELP with spending by making federal tax revenues transparent.”
You could be right, but I really don’t think it would have any material impact on spending.
