The Fair Tax would "take care of" neither of the examples tptacek gave... Like all other sales tax proposals, it relies on voluntary reporting of sales. Want to cheat the IRS? Just don't tell them about it.

This might help your customers, but it doesn't help you (unless you charge the sales tax and don't forward it). So the cheating incentives are much lower.
