I agree.

The "prebates" in the Fair Tax is a recipe for disaster and makes absolutely no sense

Care to elaborate how lowering the tax rate by ensuring people don't pay taxes on necessities up to the poverty level will be a disaster?

Absolutely! The FairTax prebate would be another clusterf*ck like the EITC. It would be totally ripe for fraud and abuse.

Also, the FairTax supporters go on and on about “revenue neutrality...” I don’t want revenue neutrality! The government gets too damned much money right now—why would we want to revamp the tax code and perpetuate that?
