With FAIR TAX, these people will be paying taxes from the first dollar they spend...and wont get the prebate.

If they're low wage workers, how much tax would they owe if they were put on payrolls now? Wouldn't they be entitled to an earned income tax credit under our current tax system?

The only info I have is from 2001 -

The lowest quintile (0-14900) has an effective income/payoll rate of 5.4%. link

Good point.
Bring on the FAIR TAX
Then they taxes pay from the get go on their purchases - but get no prebate...no deductions, no EIC, no social security, - Sounds FAIR...
