The “fair” tax would be worse slavery than we already have.
Sales taxes let the truly rich (that don’t work, or participate in our earned ‘economy’) get off completely untaxed.

You haven’t read the Fair Tax Bill. I recommend that you do so. You comment is untrue.
In fact, what you have written is true of the current, progressive, tax system.
That's not true and you know it so why you sayin' it?
People will be taxed when they consume irrespective of whether they're "truly rich", "falsely rich", or bald.
How would they avoid paying taxes on what they buy?
really? the truly rich don’t buy anything to pay sales taxes on?
How do you figure? Are you saying the "rich" don't buy things? Did they not ever work? Did their money just fall from the sky?
The "rich" don't only buy more they usually buy more expensive items such as luxury cars, boats, planes, houses, etc.
Sorry, that argument doesn't hold water with me. Besides, those that don't pay ANY income tax will finally get a dose of their own medicine. These people are as Nancy Pelosi said, "FREE RIDERS" I call them losers!
They way the "system" is set up now is, those that pay the most, get the least benefits. Those that pay the least or none at all, (which is half the nation now) get the most benefits.
Now, tell me how the hell is that fair?
This country needs to have a tax revolt that will bring this out of control government to it's knees. If the "rich" simply refused to file and refused to send in their checks every quarter, the federal government would have a sh!t fit.

Oh my, that was uniformed and ill thought out!
Income taxes let the truly rich (that don’t work, or participate in our earned ‘economy’)get off completely untaxed!
The truly wealthy do not have income defined as taxable, they have wealth and - thank God - The US does not (directly) have a "wealth" tax.
That to the side, a flat tax is not just a tax on sales!
Where on Earth did you ever get that idea? The NYT perhaps?
It is also a flat tax on all income, and is inherently fair because everyone pays something, unlike the present mess where taxes are used to actually give back unearned income to the people who pay nothing.
Which means, of course, that they pay less than nothing.
Not to mention the wonderfully purifying effect of ending the stunningly bloated and expensive tax system, along with the IRS.
The amount of paperwork alone saved by this would repopulate an entire rain forest. :)
