Income tax is far simpler & cheaper to administer in comparison to sales taxes.
Sales taxes add a new level of obfuscation & complexity to the administration of taxation. Enforcement becomes hard due to that complexity.
The tax credits behind the administration of sales taxes increases tax fraud. Corporations evade taxation by misreporting the value of goods & services.
The rich get tax credits because they can afford the paperwork.

it is clear to anyone who actually cares, the Fair Tax is not at all fair, it is biased towards the rich and against the poor. It helps with the already massive wealth redistribution from the working poor to the leisure parasitic ownership class

The FairTax literally mails money to poor people.
And taxes the purchases that rich people will spend so much more on.
Some bias toward the rich...
