But if you read the fair tax proposal, the government will send out rebates each month to poor families.
So if the poverty rate is $12,000 per person per year, and the fair tax is 25%, the government will send the poor people $3,000 a year back.
The way I would do it is to make water, bread, milk, fruits, vegetables, rent, and all the essentials not subject to the tax.
