"Essentially, the advocates of a BIG, FairTax.org included, believe that all persons should have a level of income guaranteed regardless of the productivity of that individual, that is, they should share at the outset equally in all forms of production. Therefore, they are indeed communists.

Let me see if I've got this right, the NRST tax rate is 23% of expenditure, the NRST FCA is 23% of expenditure at povertyline, and some EU socialist considers that to be a livable income guarantee.

ROTFLM(_|_)O!!!

Sometimes that which hurts causes one to laugh. The fact is, the so-called prebate is an entitlement to everyone. It can be lowered and raised. It can be manipulated for purely political purposes, just like the present tax code. There is indeed a worldwide push for a socialistic BIG in all western nations. There was a paper given by a major sponsor of FairTax that said that by having the prebate Fairtax would be joined by those who advocate a BIG in the USA thereby strengthening their overall support for such a change in the tax code. I offered a list of links that if one chose to followup on, would give a picture of how good intentions can go bad. The idea of a prebate has never been a good idea and is pure socialism, right out of the box.
