the prebate IS a rebate. It is NOT an entitlement

Sorry. Incorrect word usage, ten yard penalty. First and 20.

And in fact the prebate is a return of some of the FairTaxes paid.

Sorry, assuming facts not in evidence, half the distance to the goal. First and 26.

Your comrade in arms William Gale

Incomplete ad hominem attack, and a fumble on the play. Recovered by me, in the end zone, touchdown.

Did you figure out today's answer to the Pigdog Average Taxpayer Challenge yet?

In my last post to you, I mentioned trying to keep this thread out of the backroom..

Your 'football terms' post is proof positive that you've been reduced to spamming the thread. -- Thanks..

You claimed previously:

The FairTax would create an entirely new government entitlement program-- the prebate.

No, as it's not an entitlement.. The big difference is that every citizen would get a rebate for taxes paid on ordinary living expenses on food/shelter, etc...

I have given my thoughts on what should be done to cleanup the present system. Just because I don't think potentially blowing up the greatest eceonmic engine the world has ever seen is a great idea does not make me an enemy of tax reform...

Your typical 'blowing up' hype, along with football metaphors, as above, pretty well tell the tale of what you see as an enemy..

You'll have to come up with a better argument than that, and you could start by showing how the FairTax flaws I commented on above are incorrect.

I'll grant that the proposed fairtax has many flaws.. Will you admit that you exaggerate those flaws? -- And, - that you haven't really told us what is the basis for your opposition to cleaning up the income tax/SS withholding mess?

"... Average Taxpayer Challenge ..."

Hardly that, but merely your own misrepresentations and misunderstanding of what was posted. Covered in #129. Believe me, you've nothing to be attempting to taunt about. Nothing!!!

The definition of a rebate has already been posted several times on this thread, so give it up - "entitlement" is a different word with a different meaning ... and the prebate IS a rebate and so defined in the bill.
