[Always Right]

There is really no debate on the issue.  Here's some sources for you, if you wish:

FairTax from Wikipedia

Fair Tax not what it appears

And even the fairtax FAQ admits it, if you bother to read down to Question 47...

ABOUT THE FAIRTAX

47.  I know the FairTax rate is 23 percent when compared to current income and Social Security rate quotes. What is the rate of the sales tax at the retail counter?

30 percent.

Thank you for the information and the PING!
I seen now why the politicians want this - talk about VOTE BUYING POTENTIAL.
I can't think of anything more insane than giving them this tool.

ALL other taxes would be abolished. You would pay just ONE tax ONE time. Even at 30% its a heckuva deal, wallet wise than our current tax system where the savings are illusory because you pay different taxes several times. I think to be taxed that often is both confiscatory and truly unfair.

30 percent

Try to understand the difference between an inclusive tax and and exclusive tax. I knew this was what you were going to present and it is thoroughly discounted in #47 of link you provide. Read it and try to understand the math. Clearly, you don't undestand the difference between an inclusive tax and an exclusive tax. This is where your misunderstanding lies.

BTW, Wikipedia is a very questionable reference. Surely you've heard about all the lawsuits that have errupted because of false information being posted there?
