If you were opposed to people getting negative tax rates, you'd favor the nrst because it has fewer. But you don't favor the nrst.

Oh jeez Louise! Now your claiming that the FairTax catches more poor people in its net than the income tax? Unbelievable!

Now your claiming that the FairTax catches more poor people in its net than the income tax?

You are making this up. The nrst prevents near as many people from having negative tax rates (what you've called "entitlement").

That far, far fewer people will profit from tax refunds that exceed tax paid under the nrst means there will be a reduction in redistributing wealth when we go to the nrst.

Why do you think that preventing weatlh redistribution is "catching someone in a net"?!

You would prefer having the government use the income tax system to continue the massive redistrubution in carries out now via credits, exemptions, deductions?
