If you don't know how in the world did you figure out how to operate your computer?
I knew you couldn’t answer.
I too am perplexed why these people are on a conservative forum but, you have to remember, the FairTax would not only eliminate an albatross around every person with earned income, it would also eliminate a lot of bloodsuckers from the employment rolls.
Some people don't want to have to find a real job.
A dumb question that deserves no answer (although it has been answered many, many times. Do you understand?). You aren't here to debate, you're here to insult and disrupt.
By providing them with a monthly federal welfare check. Everybody gets a free lunch.
New Communist Manifesto (Prebate):
To each according to their needs.
Mojave's definition of income redistribution:
Tax refund.
It's not a refund. The welfare payment goes out no matter how little or how much tax was paid by the recipient.
How many times have you been caught now? Couple of thousand maybe?
It’s a refund. It is also the only thing you can key on to berate the FairTax. When the FairTax is being written up in the final process I suggest you write your congressman and protest the prebate. It would be fine with me if it is eliminated.
In advance. Even of taxes never paid.
Orwell predicted you.
So you'd rather loan money to the government instead of vice versa.
Orwell predicted you.
Ayn Rand predicted you.
So now the "prebate" is a governemnt loan that you never have to repay. Obama could take flip-flopping lessons from the Fair Taxers.
You can't read.
Loan me a free lunch, please.
Either that or out playing golf, but no, the most important thing for them to do is to disrupt the FairTax threads. As you observed, they don't offer any alternative either, (like Steve Forbes' flat tax, for example) which does also tell us something about them, doesn't it?
Thank you. Thanks for #16, too.
Nah.
I don't think you'll be able to pay it back. You're too hung up on paying the King first.
Just like the prebate works.
Do you blame them? Their livelihoods are at stake. Or so they think.
Anybody here work for a mutual fund company? Take Fidelity for example. It must have hundreds of millions of dollars of new money coming in to its funds every month from 401(k) contributions alone. A 401(k) is a complicated tax sheltered vehicle that would not be necessary under the FairTax.
There are hundreds of other jobs at risk.
Life insurance (tax deferred growth of cash value)
Annuities (tax deferred growth)
Tax shelters ( real estate, oil and gas have a lot of tax advantages)
Third party administrators (those who do the accounting for tax deferred retirement plans)
The usual suspects: CPA's, tax auditors, corporate tax dept's, tax lawyers, etc.
IRA peddlers.
The list goes on.
I don't blame them for defending their careers. I'm here to set the record straight.
People will no longer need to save for retirement thanks to the monthly "prebate" check they'll get. Step right up and buy some genuine Fair Tax snake oil to wash down your free lunch with.
