You might recall that I’ve strongly opposed any so-called “Fair” Tax that includes the socialistic “prebates” program.

I would be to if it were socialistic. It is a common misconception that the prebate will be sufficient to pay bills and thereby discourage people from working. The truth is it won't come close to covering the cost of sustaining a house hold as it will only cover the cost of taxes on necessities upto the poverty level Fair Tax Faq #3. A family of four from the chart at the link will only receive a monthly prebate of $537 or $6440 annually. No family could survive alone on this amount. At least one member of the household will still have to work full time to pay bills as they do now.

The income tax is far more socialistic than The Fair Tax will be considering the former is used as a weapon of punishment and control against the people and has stolen our freedoms over the years thanks to the heavy handed tactics of the IRS. All that goes away with The Fair Tax.

Huckabee’s part of this Fair Tax Org?

I’m with you on the idea, but I’m sorry to say that I’ll have to hold my nose to associate myself with anything he’s part of!

“It is a common misconception that the prebate will be sufficient to pay bills...”

That has NEVER been the thrust of my arguments against the silly ‘prebates’....and you know it.

The prebates turn a great flat tax into an effectively PROGRESSIVE rate. That is a fact which cannot be denied.

I don’t wish to argue, AGAIN, about this off-topic subject (unless someone else wants the explanation of my opposition to the so-called “Fair” Tax which I’ve given you multiple times prior). I only chimed in here to point out that even though guys like us disagree vehemently on specific actions to be taken, we can all show up to demonstrate our disapproval of the current system.
