The fact it’s not an entitlement is only one of the things you don’t grasp.

The FairTax bill describes the prebate as:
“Each qualified family shall be eligible to receive a sales tax rebate each month.” A tax rebate is typically referred to as a reduction in taxation demanded. The prebate is a tax refund as it says in the bill.

An entitlement is something created by a law that must be funded by congressional apportionment action - typically each congressional term.

If your kids live in your home as a family unit, they don’t get a prebate ... you do, considering them as additional kids in your family.

Social Security is an entitlement. Not funded each term. Try again?

Each kid entitles me to a larger prebate. Got it. LOL!
