Is getting a welfare check every month supposed to impress me?

It's not a welfare check. It's a way to recover the tax that must be paid on necessities, like food and medicine, which aren't taxed now, up to the poverty level for each household. A 23% percent retail sales tax on necessities would be far to heavy a burden on the poor thus the reason for the tax probate check. It's not a welfare check and it has been explained to you several times how and why it's not a welfare check. It makes no difference to me how you chose to present yourself -- it's your credibility, not mine.

You're the one person on the tax threads that has, by far, most discredited themselves. You're the undisputed champion, lewislynn.

Thanks I'll wear that with a badge of honor since not one of you has ever been able to refute any fact I've presented...of course refuting a fact would be an oxymoron wouldn't it.

If you want to see discredited I suggest you re-read your own words from this thread. I posted them once to your cohort but I'll do it again in case someone missed it.

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

Uh huh, so receiving a tax rebate from the taxpayers for taxes never paid isn't welfare?

And since no person has to report their income to the government the government has no tax incentive to snoop around in a person's private financial affairs.

Gee, the lies and deceit just keep piling on. Were you saying something about discredited? What fool would believe the government would write any law where they lost control of your source of income?...Sorry did I just call you a fool?

I've got to stop discrediting myself here.
