"The Fair Tax (national sales tax) that has been proposed for the US, replaces the current income tax."

That's exactly what they said in Canada, and guess what...

I'm not familiar with Canada's tax law history, but I take that to mean that their parliament passed a national sales tax that was layered on top of an existing income tax.

That's a sin.

The Fair Tax proposal for the US has always included the provision that such legislation would simultaneously abolish the income tax.

A tariff plus the NRST would be the best replacement for the income tax.
