Some pretty big and invasive agency would be needed to process and enforce the FAIR tax regime too. How about a plan that does not continue to pay “rebates” to those who paid no taxes?

That's precisely the problem with it: it would change things without addressing the underlying issues.
(And those issues are the complexity and freedom of the enforcement agency to interpret the laws/regulations.)

*nod* — Fully agreed, which is why I support a flat-tax w/ no exceptions/exemptions/write-offs/deductions/credits.

It's the sales tax agency that already exists in almost every state. The federal agency would be dealing with the state agencies, not directly with taxpayers.
