I'm sorry you have been taken in by this fraud. The fair tax idea itself is a crackbrained scheme. Here is a
link to a short and easy to read article pointing out how ridiculous the whole idea is. Here is another
link pointing out that the fairtax people are lying when they claim it's a 23% tax.
Think about it for a minute. It's called the "fair" tax. If it has to be advertised like that it already makes me suspicious. The fair tax bible is written by a rabid right wing radio commentator. Even if you like what they say, these guys carry a "strictly for entertainment purposes" warning label. And consider the implications of the fact that these fair tax advocates claim a 23% tax that's really 30%. That kind of lying right up front about the most important aspect of the tax should tell you all you need to know about it.
