“Revenue nuetral” is the phrase that FT supporters need to forget about. This is a shallow excuse for a shallow plan...one that ignores $27 trillion in debts. Also, why not answer my question asked at least 3 times now....WHY, WHY, WHY would I want to pay for prebate distributions....just because I like splurging and spending money I don’t have to spend? Do I like the control over the American public by having them beholdened to my prebate disbursements? WHY? WHY? WHY? would I want to pay for this?????

You perhaps think there should be a tax increase to "pay off" the $27 T$ in debts you claim? Why is this a subject in a FairTax discussion at all?? It could be done just as well in the income tax and should be in a broader economic policy discussion but the amount is no more "ignored" (your term) in the FairTax than it is in the income tax.

The FairTax is revenue neurtral so that it cannot be said to change the amount of tax revenue raised by the tax system so that we are not forced into unwise economic moves but have a chance to improve things economically over the next few years.

In fact because the FairTax will greatly boost the country's economy, we stand a better chance of having the wherewithal to "pay off" such a debt (if that's even a valid number) than under the present tax system which is dragging this country downward and greatly contributing to many of our economic ills.
