Do I need to study to say the sky is blue and the grass is green. There are millions of people who earn below the poverty line and thus will spend much less on taxes than the prebate pays them. There will a million or so of people living on the street who the prebate will be their biggest source of income. It is pure welfare to these people, not a refund of taxes.
I'd be glad to see any definite information you might have on the homeless and their income/spending habits. We're not talking about the sky and the grass Rightie, but people.
You say "millions" - how many "millions"??? What is their income? How much do they spend now? Where does the money come from? Do the live singly or in pairs? How many have a permanent residence? How many are illegal aliens?
I'm sure any studies you might have will answer these and other questions. I'm afraid your just claiming it won't do the job. And I'd point out that living below the poverty line still has that person paying taxes on each and every taxable thing purchased. That's still more of a contribution to tax revenues than they make at present - by a good deal undoubtedly.
THat's not what this data say: Data
So irrespective of reported earnings, folks spend. So, you're wrong.
Beyond that, what does it say that so many are underreporting earnings? That perhaps the nrst will indeed capture more taxes from the cash economy?
Got any other data to analyze? If so, post it.
