The difference, is that whereas now, the government is out their entire tax payment from these people,
The next time you drive through their neighborhood check out the fine houses and automobiles they own. Just think of all that sales tax money you'll be getting.

People use after tax money to buy drugs. Drug dealers pay all the embedded taxes you Fairtaxers claim are in everything they purchase now with the purcaser's after tax money....

Tax, tax, tax isn't that what you want?

With the Fairtax they won't remit taxes on their sales AND they'll all get a (gag!) "prebate".

They can then take their tax free ill gotten gains along with their (gag!) "prebate" and launder it in a "it's none of the government's business where your money comes from" tax free savings account.

BTW, practically everything they own is stolen so no tax collected there either.

Yup. They eat Stolen food.
They drive Stolen cars
They live in Stolen houses
They wear Stolen clothes
They take Stolen trips on Stolen planes
They get Stolen diamonds inlaid in their Stolen teeth.

In fact they don't make any money at all, they just GIVE drugs away or barter, and since all those stolen goods are used goods they don't have to pay tax on those either.

At least everyone can now see that your arguments are all universally based in the same degree of reality.

SOME people use after tax money presently to buy drugs, but many of them use illegally-obtained funds to do so (and are thereby themselves part of the illegal economy).

As has been explained many times the illegals are not paying the tax rate of however much prices are raised by, but only a small oportion of that representing the merchants profit times his marginal tax rate.

And the prebate is not a gag prebate. It's quite real. And as it says in the bill all valid US citizens with a SSN are eligible to receive it, not incarcerated, etc. (as specified in the bill). If the illegal qualifies on those terms (and many won't) they are eligible under the law.

A tax free investment is tax free Looey, but I thought you kneew that. If "everything they own is stolen" as you say then someone has probably already paid the tax on it.
