Sorry, but it's YOUR method that is flawed [what a shock] since the non-family households cannot be counted. It is a FAMILY Consumption Allowance for families in a single household. So you don't get to throw in your extra numbers to gratuitously inflate the prebate amount by hundreds of millions.
LOL! So you don't think single people get the FCA! ROTFLMAO!!! You are the biggest fool!!! LOL! You'll say anything if you think it benefits your love, the FairTax. Pathetic and hilarious at the same time!

Sorry, Nightie, you're wrong again.

From the bill:

"`(a) General Rule- For purposes of this chapter, the term `qualified family' shall mean 1 or more family members sharing a common residence. All family members sharing a common residence shall be considered as part of 1 qualified family.

`(b) Family Size Determination-

`(1) IN GENERAL- To determine the size of a qualified family for purposes of this chapter, family members shall mean--

`(A) an individual,

`(B) the individual's spouse,

`(C) all lineal ancestors and descendants of said individual (and such individual's spouse),

`(D) all legally adopted children of such individual (and such individual's spouse), and

`(E) all children under legal guardianship of such individual (or such individual's spouse). "

So you don't get to take all of your non-family household members and give them the prebate. In fact it can't be told definitely from the numbers in the tables but some portion of any of those "households" or some living in them would undoubtedly not qualify for the prebate anyway.

Your problem is that you don't realize how creepy and imprecise the Census Bureau projections and "facts" really are. By the very definition of "non-family household" many of those do not qualify. The point is the numbers you and dufus keep trying to push are not realistic as they make unwarranted assumptions about everyone qualifying for the prebate and that is certainly not true. Dufus was even trying to force the prebate onto the entire population not realizing that many would not qualify. You guys are merely driven by your anti FairTax agenda rather than any real information.
