I also can’t support the fair tax as it stands. My reasons are that they won’t tie the repeal of the 16th amendment to the implementation of the tax and the “fair tax” actually double-taxes monies earned prior to implementation.

You haven't read House Joint Resolution 16. To quote from the bill:

"Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to repeal the sixteenth article of amendment."

RE: # 7 My reasons are that they won’t tie the repeal of the 16th amendment to the implementation of the tax ....

See # 37 at:

37. Could we end up with both the FairTax and an income tax?

No current supporter of the FairTax would support the FairTax unless the entire income tax is repealed. Moreover, concurrent with the repeal of the income tax, a constitutional amendment repealing the 16th Amendment and prohibiting an income tax will be pushed through Congress for ratification by the states (filed as HJR 16 in the 109th Congress).
