the fair tax will also take the money away from buying votes and turn charitable giving into a volunteer donation... recipients showing gratitude once again, instead of entitlement mentality.

You are absolutely correct!
Studies have shown that charitable giving is not done for tax purposes, and, in any event, charitable giving under the FairTax will not be a taxable event at all.
Studies have also shown that in times of prosperity, charitable giving increases substantially; since the FairTax will increase American’s prosperity across the boards, charitable giving will increase.
If I could get charities and churches to support the FairTax, this would be a done deal. Unfortunately, charities and churches are too timid to take on the Fed, and not many are willing to go on the record supporting FairTax.
We have a lot of work to do to convince them that they will prosper mightily under FairTax.
