what do you think will be the effect and administrative cost and burden of processing and mailing all those “Fair Tax” monthly “pre-bate” checks to just about every American family?

From what I have read, most FairTax tax refunds will be direct deposited, and will cost about as much to deliver as that spam that fills up our email.

These picky little objections seem pretty trivial to me after I have just prepared and submitted 27 pages of financial data to justify the income tax I paid. What if April 15 was just another day? The FairTax could be horrid and still be better than what we have. Why are you defending the status quo?

What about the administration of keeping an accurate data base of families, dependents, addresses, bank accounts of every man, woman and child in the US? There are literally millions of changes each day that will have to be done to keep such data base up to date and also trying to eliminate errors and fraud.
