That is not true. There is no proviosion in the Fair Tax proposal to repeal the current taxes levied. So you would add 23% onto the cost of fuel. Read the proposal, it leaves a lot out of its explainations, PLUS state taxes would NOT be repealed at any point under the proposal.

For that matter, neither would state income taxes. You still would be paying more for fuel, tobacco, and alcohol - any way that you try to slice it under the current proposal.
