And so it is that a person’s FairTax rebate will also come from tax revenues! Eureka!
Great,under the Fairtax everyone will have more money to spend than they earned .

Lunacy, ignorance or Obama socialist logic...you choose

Yeah just like our tax refunds today. We get more money to spend.

Yeah a person’s FairTax rebate will come from tax revenues, taxes that they have already paid in consumption. That’s why it is called a ‘rebate’, a refund of taxes the person paid spending up to the poverty line.

Only I won’t be getting my tax refund once a year, instead I will be getting my tax refund once a month.

But you are wrong to say that the FairTax rebate comes from money not earned. It comes from money already spent. It is a refund of taxes paid when spending; i.e consumption taxes.

Now if you think it comes from money not earned, then you are fixated on earnings, on income taxes. And we know that is what you hoping to preserve. But where someone gets their money to spend is not relevant because it is not what they earn but what they spend that is relevant. Are you going after foreign tourists visiting and spending in the USA? Why do you care where they got their money?

I know that people won’t be getting more rebate than they spend, unless they are homeless bums.

And you did not respond to my previous post to you.

That means you are without argument, you have no points to make, just nonsense and sniping is all you are reduced to.
