The fairtax is much simpler than any income tax including any flat tax. The USA has had several flat taxes beginning in 1861 (yes before the 16th; and again in the 1870s and 1890s) and all of them were amended and revised to become graduated in subsequent sessions of Congress.
Hence, a flat tax never stays flat.
The fairtax rebate simply provides that no taxpaying American shall pay any federal tax on consumption at a level of essentials.
Hence, the fairtax rebate is a tax cut for all Americans. I’ll take it.
That is stupidly complicated. Having the federal government mail checks to everyone is a commie leftist wet dream come true.

Thanks for pointing that out - can’t be said often enough :)
