Quote:They did earn it seems...I wonder if they had to work harder than the people from richer backgrounds with better connections? That's the point, you want so called fair tax but don't acknowledge that certain people get benefits and guaranteed decent jobs just because of who their parents are...

That's always been the case and always will be the case. Whether the tax is fair or unfair, consumption or income, there will be nepotism both in government jobs and private sector jobs. In any event, that's a small fraction of how jobs are won. The current tax code does nothing to prevent that or compensate for it, so why oppose a different tax code on that basis?

The Fair Tax has the advantage of a huge incentive to locate multinational corporations in the US, which would be a boost to the economy and benefit everyone, rich or poor. I guess as a citizen of Australia you might not like that.
