Essentials of life up to the poverty level are not taxed. Since this would be cumbersome to administer on the sales side it is handle as a reimbursement or prebursement. This is not an entitlement it is the government returning monies that they are not entitled to.
The monthly family consumption allowance checks which would be sent out by government under H.R. 25 would come from taxes paid by people who work for a living. The family consumption entitles those who don’t work for a living to receive the allowance, for example, drug dealers and users are entitled to the allowance, burglars and armed robbers are also entitled to the allowance, and even your local un-wed welfare moms who stays at home, don’t work but makes babies to increase their welfare check are
entitled to the allowance and would in fact each be getting a $400 per bonus under your entitlement which turns out to be a transfer of wealth entitlement.
H.R. 25, the alleged FairTax, would create the largest entitlement program in the history of America under its family consumption allowance___ an entitlement which is estimated would cost $ 600 BILLION a year! The cost of this entitlement to the American Taxpayers would make the projected cost of Hilary Health Care look like chicken feed.
