by mildy wrong I meant that it has more implications than simply more money in your pockets. Also, it's closer to spend less = less tax which is the bit that I'm most unsure on.

In fact, I'm not sure if fairtax is about giving you more money. As far as I can tell, the main purpose is to make the whole taxing system more transparent and efficient and thus saving money in clerical/admin work etc. What it doesn't seem to take into account is that a lot of the assumptions are based on current prices based on the current tax system and as such the numbers they give are going to be misleading.
