Of course the so-called "Fair"tax does not have such exceptions.

The British government imposed sales taxes... without representation.
You are paying taxes to the government that you elect representatives to. It's absolutely ludicrous to compare the income tax to "taxation without representation".
Whether you pay income tax or sales tax has no bearing on how government uses taxes.
And your decision to pay taxes will not reflect your opinion on taxes, but your opinion on spending your own money.
I find this to be a very weak argument.
And you've yet to say what is unfair about land and natural resource taxes.
