That also means people will pay a tax but their overall tax burden will be less than with the current income tax code.

What people? As the overall Baby Boom population ages, they will spend their already taxed savings disproportionately on health care, medication, medical services, and eventually (for many) nursing homes, and then funeral services.

Every one of those things, paid for with already taxed dollars will be taxed again,

Nothing "fair" about that.

The prebate for the average household will not reimburse nearly enough to cover the taxes on households of one or two, even though their taxes paid on the above named services will be well above the average, because the level of care will be well above the average.

This isn't rocket science, here--unless you're James Hansen.

Are you serious? The same people we've been talking about all along, those who makes purchases!

As the overall Baby Boom population ages, they will spend their already taxed savings disproportionately on health care, medication, medical services, and eventually (for many) nursing homes, and then funeral services.

Oh really? Who decides what is considered disproportionate? They're savings will no longer be taxed under The Fair Tax since it is considered income!

The prebate for the average household will not reimburse nearly enough to cover the taxes on households of one or two, even though their taxes paid on the above named services will be well above the average, because the level of care will be well above the average.

You're right because the prebate is not intended to fully cover all taxes paid. It's only intended to cover taxes up to the poverty level as has already been explained to you several times!

This isn't rocket science, here--unless you're James Hansen.

It wouldn't seem as though it were rocket science if you read the bill.
