"Fair Tax" is another scheme to complicate taxation to make it easier to jigger and tweak, especially if you throw in the absurd "prebate." It gives the government a large slice of everything and makes the government the source of support to all those getting the "prebate." That "prebate" sounds an awful like the Guaranteed Income scheme.

1) Low uniform tariff on all imports
2) 9 or 10% flat tax on personal income with no exemptions, deductions, credits, etc and from the first dollar of income. or
3) straight up uniform sales tax on goods and services.

Of those three the best is the flat tax. It is low enough that evasion will be minimal. Both of the others would, at any level, promote smuggling and off-the-books trade.
