I think that illegal aliens would NOT get the prebate, not sure about felons in prison. Felons in prison do not pay the FairTax because they do not make retail purchases, but the government will pay the 30% FairTax on the food and supplies that they purchase to run the prison. They will probably get the prebate, since it is universal, or they will fight that they are being unfairly treated.

Prisoners would not get the "prebate." Who knows what would happen if illegal aliens were reclassified as guest workers.


BTW, Neal Boortz is debating Michael Graetz on the FairTax on C-SPAN 2 in just a few minutes (9:30 am Eastern). Graetz shoves some of the lies in his face (he even has an email from Jorgenson).

Are you sure? I thought felons could in many systems make small purchases at the prison canteen of things like deodorant, candy and toothpaste.

Why don't you try reading the bill for a change, Robbie?
