The key word is "replace."

The FairTax plan is a comprehensive proposal that replaces all federal income and payroll taxes with a national retail sales tax on new retail goods and services, creates a household prebate to reimburse taxes payed on purchases up to the poverty level spending, maintains federal revenue at current levels, and, through companion legislation, repeals of the 16th Amendment.

Under the recently passed Obamacare bill the IRS will hire 16,500 new agents to enforce your purchase of health insurance. If this is not proof of the use of the Federal Income Tax as a tool to reward those following the party line and punish those who dare do question the party line. We need to take this powerful tool away from the corrupt politicians, and return control to the people, now!

The FairTax Plan is a comprehensive proposal that replaces all federal income and payroll taxes with an integrated approach including a progressive national retail sales tax on new items only, (investments and used items exempt) a rebate to ensure no American pays federal taxes on spending up to the poverty level, dollar-for-dollar federal revenue replacement, and, through companion legislation, repeal of the 16th Amendment.
so here we are taxed as we spend and keep the compliance costs

The proposal for an additional VAT over and above the income tax will cripple an already struggling economy. Let’s tell Washington to “study” the 300 page FairTax bill, then pass it. This will give fiscal control back to the people where it belongs!
