I suppose I don't understand-- what is taxed under the "fairtax" ? Are income levels irrelevent? That seems like a bad idea if so..

Yes, income will not be taxed, spending will. I think the idea of being penalized for achieving wealth is bad. The more money you earn the more you pay in tax. So the current system rewards those underachievers.
