wrong. it is very easy to identify or address split.
If a person shares a house then you have TWO seperate adults.
If anything then this is the IDENTICAL trap as the Great Society program. There is no incentive to be married. Of course in that situation you had fathers also divorcing mothers and moving out to keep government benefits.
The explanation from the hustonTexas Scam Tax, the one next to the equadorian consulate and beauty salon, is hardly a credible source of information. The actual language of the law is plain enough. A first year law student could find the gaping holes is this poorly written and poorly thought out proposal.
Incorrect. Look at the table at the following link:
http://www.fairtax.org/PDF/FairTaxPrebateExplained2007.pdf
The second adult in the house gets the same prebate as the first. There will be no incentive to split the house. NONE.
STATED DIFFERENTLY: Two adults will get two prebates whether they occupy one dwelling or two.
Where’s the incentive to split the residence?
