You can keep creating as many hypothetical scenarios as you want but it that won't change the fact it wouldn't the Fair Tax Act. It would be some other type of tax that would require a separate bill and would not be supported by Fair Taxers.

You don't understand. The current NRST legislation will not pass both houses as written. I can't recall a bill that has. So, if that's the requirement, there will be no bill passed.

If the removal of the prebate will make the NRST bill less of a "fair tax", can you tell me why?

Your statement is mere conjecture unless you have some inside information from within Congress. What you don't understand is that support for the bill as written is increasing. So long as pressure is kept on the politicians by an increasing number of supporters the bill will not be changed.

I don't know how many bills you can recall but I'm sure it is a very small percentage compared to all the bills that have been introduced since the First Congress. Out of all the bills ever written since the inception of Congress, you assume none have ever passed in their original form based on your recollection. That's a very faulty premise without any research to back up your claim.

As I already have told you more than once this question is moot because Americans For Fair Taxation will not support any part of the bill being omitted.

So Willie Tee, you've studied each and every bill passed and have determined that they have all been changed dramatically? And you KNOW the FairTax won't pass as is?

How prescient (that means you have, as we all know, divine omniscience) of you. But then that's always been true with you hasn't it?

"You don't understand. The current NRST legislation will not pass both houses as written."

No, WT, YOU don't understand. You make an unsupported assertion and expect everyone on FR to fall in line behind it. The fact that you post something on FR does NOT make it the absolute truth, or the only interpretation.

Taken to its logical extension, your position is downright un-American. What you are saying is that, since congress alone can determine the specifics of any public policy initiative reduced to a bill in congress, individual citizens should stay away from all areas of public policy. After all, that is the purview of congress and congress alone. We serve the government and not vice versa.
