How is a tax cut to 100% of US citizens a "scheme toward socialism"?

More lies from you. I have no problem with a tax cut. But a government check sent to every household in the U.S. isn't a "tax cut", it is a handout. If you want a "tax cut of 100%", just don't tax things in the first place and eliminate the bureaucracy. You sound like you work for the IRS and are afraid of losing your government job.

Then why do you oppose eliminating the tax on necessities via rebate/refund?

You've already agreed that necessities ARE currently being taxed. So by refunding the tax paid on necessities, individuals are receiving a tax cut equivalent to the amount of earnings previously spent on necessites.

Necessities now taxed. Necessities not taxed in future. Tax cut to all in the amount of taxes previously spent on necessities.

BTW look up "redistribution" in the dictionary.
