This "Fair Tax" , or any change to the US tax system,will never happen anyways.
I think the US will simply continue to print money and sink deeper and deeper into Debt. Until the point where a ride in an ambulance costs 1500 dollars, and emergency care costs 350k. There'll be no "middle class" as it is now known, and corporations will run the country overtly. "Freedom" will be a thing of the past, and people won't own anything they will just lease all devices and all content. Everyone will be tied to long term contracts, and a free and open Internet will be a distant memory. The innovation will slow to a crawl with releases being carefully timed and scaled as we see an ever increasing lack of competition through the use of Patents, Tiered plans, and suppression of information across the Internet all in the name of preventing child pornography and Intellectual property theft. (There will still be child pornography despite all these measures, though, meaning they must be continued in perpetuity). All the revolutions, and rights of the people, and the whole Give me Freedom chants will produce nothing of note. Future Presidents will not campaign on cutting the deficit, they'll campaign on not increasing the deficit by too much. None of them will touch taxes. Rich will be those that have 20m and up. (right now "rich" is those that have about 7m US and up according to recent article and a survey of the wealthy in America).
