What you seem to be missing is that under the Fair Tax, a large part of the underground economy would start paying taxes they do not pay currently.
Drug dealers spend money on cars and goods; they would now be paying taxes. Currently, they do not pay taxes because their cash based income is untraceable.
The math works; why don't you check out the math on their website and get back to me? Better yet, buy the book and read it like I did.

I have studied their plan. If a product cost $100 and $130 after the sales tax, what percent was the sales tax?
Taxing the underground economy is an advantage although I have seen that questioned. Currently, the drug dealer does not pay federal income taxes but those buying his drugs do have their income taxed. Under the Fair Tax the income of the buyer is not taxed and he does not pay a sales tax to the drug dealer, so it comes out about even.
But my main hesitation is the increased price we pay for all goods and services, the bureaucracy necessary to send a rebate to all American families monthly, the possibility for fraud with the rebates (it is based on the number of children).
I have not seen anything within the FAIR tax equation suggesting a tax of more than 18%.
We're not talking about the buyer or the dealer paying the tax; it is when they buy products themselves they are paying the tax.
First off; you are already paying the increased price. You just never see it.
The bureaucracy would be less than what it currently is. When you abolish the Tax code, you also significantly reduce the massive bureaucracy necessary to run it and audit people. You do understand that the current system is an honor system where the threat of imprisonment is the only enforcement technique. That too would go away under the Fair Tax.
