That’s true, but at least it makes the cost of government obvious to every consumer on every receipt.
That’s the reason I like the FT.
The long term psychological effects could be very beneficial to America.

That's not necessarily true. The Fair Tax will reduce the number of collection points from 155 million individual filers down to 20 million businesses. Such a drastic reduction will not require the same size agency as the abolished IRS and its $11 billion dollar price tag.

The cost of gov't is pretty clear on a weekly, bi-weekly, monthly paycheck too. Income tax form makes it relatively clesr too.
If the objective to make the cost of gov't clear, why not point out that the FT is a 30% sales tax? Too clear? Too transparent?
