Under the "Fair Tax" each household would recieve a monthly or quarterly payment equal to "poverty level" income. This would cover "basic living expenses", food rent, etc. The IRS would be gone, no one gets a break, people who spend more pay more. What's the problem?

His problem is that he has socialist leanings.

H, The problem is that the middle class and the "lower" class {people on fixed income} are hit the hardest with the NRST while investors and business pay no taxes except for on the things they buy. The "rebate" is a pittance that most will have to spend to pay their higher tax bite. If the "rebate" is even necessary, HOW can the NRST even be considered "fair"? Peace and love, George.
