The REBATE is not welfare, as welfare is transferred from other individuals. A REBATE is money already paid. Folks who receive the rebate are just receiving the money they'll pay in taxes on necessities. It's not a transfer from any other individual....it is money paid back to yourself...just like any REBATE. Look it up.
With the NRST if a person doesn't want to pay the tax they can choose to not buy the item -- and they can still get a check every month to cover the tax up to the poverty level.
