Are you listening to yourself? how long will that last? Until people start screaming “why do the rich get the same rebate as the poor”
VERY soon there will be a means test, then the rich get excluded from any ‘rebate’ then the poor vote themselves bigger and bigger rebates and higher ‘sales tax’
I have to agree with you on this one. I can hear the sob stories now and see the coverage of the Hedge Fund manager driving up in his 120k car and cashing his rebate check the same time fixed income grandma is dropped off by the bus to cash hers.
The whole idea is that the IRS goes away, so no one knows who’s rich or poor.
If that can’t be accomplished, then there is no Fair Tax.
