Now that is an honest concern which I also have. The only way I can answer that is to say that removing the income tax (along with corporate, capital gains, etc.) will also remove the disincentive to work. There will always be lazy bums leeching off the system, but that isn't an issue the FairTax addresses and therefore isn't an argument the FairTax should be attacked on.
This is a seperate issue of Welfare Reform. I want welfare reform to wean people off of government assistance. This is another debate, but as a quick aside since the "Great Society" and the "War on Poverty" under Johnson, the percentage of poor to our population has remained the same. We haven't solved it after throwing about $6 trillion at it. Before those programs the percentage would fluctuate with the economy.
