If the FairTax rate factored in the level of evasion and avoidance that could be expected, it's rate would be greatly higher.

The fair tax rate presumes the same level of evasion as the income tax...even though there is a strong argument that evasion will reduce.

BTW, you oppose the fair tax today because the rate is too low????!!!

Wouldn't it be good if gov't was forced to spend less?

And before, you said the same rate being visibly applied to everyone would not prevent the rate from being increased easily...

So which is it today? Rate too high or too low? Rate can't change easily or it can?

You say that, but it's flat out not true.
