The increased costs are real enough as you could see with a bit of research on the FairTax website. You don't seem to grasp what the increase stems from.

LOL, I grasp everything just fine. What you don't seem to grap is that the extra money in employees paycheck has to come from somewhere. Since the total amount of taxes is to remain constant, the only source is increase in costs of goods. No matter how many times this is explained to you, it never seems to penetrade your hard head.

Saying revenue neutral does not mean that more money will not be raised due to expansion of the economy. It merely means tax revenues start out as revenue neutral.

I think that what will happen is that the economy will increase thereby increasing tax revenues which would allow us to pressure the pols to decrease the tax rate, not increase it. The spending issues still exist and that's a whole 'nother story. We should all work on that side of things, but at least it will be clearly known to all what their tax burden really is with the FairTax.
