No. And just so people know in case the discussion goes there, the FairTax is NOT a VAT.

Quintuple NO!
Once you have a VAT, what’s to stop them from incrementally increasing it because of need for more funds?
NOTHING!

Exactly so.
A VAT is a stealth means of extracting money form countries like the USA and giving it to the UN for redistribution.

A VAT tax would be a killer for a consumption based economy, which is what we have.

The politicians never remove old taxes so this would be a huge tax on everything we buy and it is guaranteed to go up and up.
