Everything I've heard from FairTax proponents is that they do not propose any cuts to programs nationally. They aren't getting into the issue of spending restraint. They want to raise the same amount of money, just to do it a more effective, efficient, and fair way.

Today we have a ton of elements of the income tax that try to tax wealthy people more and poor people less. Poor people get everything from the standard deduction through earned income tax credit. So the FairTax plan wants to echo that sort of progressive policy, but just do it in a more effective way.

So the rich guy buying a Ferrari will pay more so that the poor person doesn't have to pay taxes on their food for the week.
