I see, the poor will not be better off thanks to the miracle of the prebate.
I don't know what "better off" means to you...
The prebate makes necessity level spending tax free.
From your comment, you feel that giving poor people more money in refunds than they pay is a good thing.
That's very curious. Just a few posts back you were deriding the nrst for providing tax refunds above the amount of tax paid.
Are you rejecting the nrst because you believe it overpays tax refunds to poor people
or
Are you rejecting the nrst because it doesn't overpay tax refunds as much as the income tax?
You should stop digging!
This is another example of your reason for rejecting the nrst being false. Why don't you want people to know your real reason lucysmom? Don't you think we'd agree with it?
