By that asnine logic, a welfare queen's welfare check is a 'refund' since it came from my taxes. You are a piece of work pigdog. Clinton had more shame than you. A person does not have to pay a dime of taxes to qualify for your precious pre-bate check. Only pigdog could convolute that into being a refund.
That's not the same thing at all RIghtie. The hypothetical welfare queen to who you refer has undoubtedly never paid taxes for one or more years and probably will not do so next year and beyond.
With the FairTax, every taxable item one buys pays a bit of tax and most people - by far - do not live below the FairTax poverty amount when it comes to spending. Do you have some study to present that shows the percent of people who consume nothing - or at least nothing taxable under the FairTax???
If so, please present it.
