So, under the FairTaxI get to keep my whole paycheck, prices for everything I will buy will stay the same even with the taxes included, and I get a prebate check from the govt every month. And businesses pay no taxes. Where is the extra money coming from...

No one ever accused fairtaxers of being intellectually honest. Few of their claims withstand intellectual scrutiny, but you can NEVER convince one of them of that.

Idiot. Business don't pay taxes; they pass the costs on to individuals - that's you and me. If a corporation is taxed like living persons are, they have two strategies to deal with burden: they can lay off workers or pass the costs on the consumer. Unemployment would even lower in this country if employers did not have to pay so many taxes when instead they could invest in improving the business or paying their employees more. That's being intellectually honest. I defy the defenders of the income tax to explain to me that double taxation makes either practical or moral sense.
