All existing tax that has been paid should be "excluded".
The "fairness" of any tax will always be subjective.Also..with more money that supposedly will be available for spending,what will this do for inflation?
In fairness,I have not yet made up my mind on the Fair Tax but I can see trouble ahead and some issues need to be addressed before this plan has real traction.

In Australia they have a value added tax. Basically a sales tax. I am for the simplest one page explained tax. With zero exemptions. My goal would be to make it bullitt proof.
