The Fair Tax is a sales tax only approach. No income tax. Only a sales tax.
A VAT is a sales tax.
So, I’m a supporter of the Fair Tax, a sales tax only approach. All I’m suggesting is the type of sales tax used be reviewed. There are advantages (and disadvantages) to a VAT sales tax instead of the end-point-of-sale sales tax.
That’s all I’ve said, and it’s never been against the Fair Tax.
IMHO, if you advocate for a VAT, you are opposed to the FairTax.
IMHO, there are NO advantages to a VAT.

How can we have an intelligent two-way conversation about a subject you appear to be woefully ignorant about?
And then do not read a scholarly article which will provide you with expert information about the subject?
Go read the article, and then get back to me: http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2005/05/beware-the-value-added-tax
