Can you tell me how you see the prebate being used by pols?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Well....Some citizens would be more equal than others. Fill in the blank for the reason. (......) OINK!

Any crisis would do as an excuse to start meddling with the prebates. And....Prebates require federal administration that would grow larger and larger every year.

I support the Fair Tax and would be thrilled to see it. The better solution is to get the federal government completely out of the tax collecting business. With the 50 State Tax there would merely be 50 bills sent, one to each governor.

But there is no difference between individuals in an excise environment - there is no way to differentiate groups like there is under an income tax. So I don’t know how they will “meddle”?

Notwithstanding my remaining question to you ... i indeed like the 50 state deal.
