I am confident that we will discover just how creative and resourceful people can be to avoid paying the FairTax; and then we'll discover how creative politicians can be writing bills to restrain avoidance.

You can be as "confident" as you like but that doesn't alter the facts that tax compliance under the FairTax is accomplished when the taxpayer purchases and gets the receipt for the things bought. That's it - he's complied.
Since 3.6% of the retailers collectively make 85.7% of all U.S. sales, there'll be damned little evasion going on no matter how much "confidence" you have in your lawbreaking pals - nor have you ever been able to offer a reasonable explanation of how this might occur.
