You're mixing facts in order to cnfuse the newbies.

If take-home pay (THP) + the rebate (R) is 23% higher than before the tax shift and prices (P) stay exactly the same before imlementation of the FairTax (FT), then buying power (BP) is EXACTLY THE SAME.

If THP + R < P + FT, then Buying Power decreases.
