While government will not need the name to *collect* taxes, they will still need names. I just went over to www.fairtax.org. They state: "Everyone pays their fair share of taxes, and with the FairTax rebate, spending up to the poverty level is tax free." Government will have to know the names and incomes of anyone applying for this rebate.
No. Just the names and SSNs to verify citizenship. And of course, the address (or bank acct#) to send the check to.
Or if you don't want to, don't apply for the rebate and just drop off the grid.
"Government will have to know the names and incomes of anyone applying for this rebate."
Incorrect. The rebate varies by family size, NOT by income level.
