Right, I just said retail sales tax, not fair tax. I don’t like the prebate part of the plan. It makes the tax rate go too high, makes it more difficult and expensive to administer, hurts privacy, and keeps the poor from paying their fair share.

The true is the problem is not the tax collection system. There are several of those flat tax / fair tax / income tax / direct apportionment, etc
The PROBLEM is spending and until that gets put under control, it wont matter what type of tax collection system is place.

The Fair Tax was written to be revenue neutral. The rate is far lower than the over all tax burden we pay today. See post #29. I don't know how you define "fair share" since it is a vague term but only a very tiny percentage will not pay any tax after the prebate.
