But the FairTax is revenue neutral (including the prebate) at 23%.

After your huge entitlement it is revenue neutral. Certainly it will probably give the government the $2 Trillion that it currently spends, but it will have to raise about $2.3 Trillion so it nets $2 Trillion. Social Security is an entitlement eventhough all taxpayers who have paid into over their lives are qualified. Everyone with a Social Security number is entitled to the fairtax prebate. It is certainly not a refund because there is no requirement that they pay a dime in taxes.

So by your definition all taxpayers form an entitlement group due to the FairTax prebate??? Interesting.

Do you really believe your own comment that the prebate is "... not a refund because there is no requirement that they pay a dime in taxes ..."? You really think that people would receive the refund and consume zero??

Certainly that's possible but do you believe that will happen very often with more than a few die hard SWL fanciers - like you? You'll be completely cut off from FR threads (which would be a shame as your posts are so "enlivening"). True, you won't spend a single cent and pay any tax but I hope your farming and cave living skills are better than your elucidative skills.
