I beginning to understand your comprehension problem is deeper than first observed.
The FairTax as a consumption tax is a replacement for the Income tax. To attack a consumption tax leaves no alternative but to support an income tax. It is a given that taxes will and must be paid. The question is whether it is better to pay taxes via consumption or via income or via both. The latter is unacceptable, therefore it comes down to a form of consumption or income tax.
Are you for the FairTax or are you for the Income tax?
You are obviously against the FairTax. If you are not for the income tax then what are you for?
Maybe you’re for no taxes at all. If so, we have special places for people like you to think about that.
"Definition: In false dichotomy, the arguer sets up the situation so it looks like there are only two choices. The arguer then eliminates one of the choices, so it seems that we are left with only one option: the one the arguer wanted us to pick in the first place. But often there are really many different options, not just two--and if we thought about them all, we might not be so quick to pick the one the arguer recommends!
Example: "Caldwell Hall is in bad shape. Either we tear it down and put up a new building, or we continue to risk students' safety. Obviously we shouldn't risk anyone's safety, so we must tear the building down." The argument neglects to mention the possibility that we might repair the building or find some way to protect students from the risks in question--for example, if only a few rooms are in bad shape, perhaps we shouldn't hold classes in those rooms."
