Unfortunately, where we differ goes far beyond the merits of the "fair tax" idea. The notion that one can create a "fair" version of a system that is fundamentally based on exploitation is, frankly, ridiculous.

Think of the fair tax, or the progressive fair tax, as a consumption tax. The more you consume, the more in taxes you pay.
From a business point of view, the more you consume (products you make), the more in taxes your customers pay.
