If we accept those figures, then why offer a prebate to anyone? If there is indeed "no loss of purchasing power", then why do the poor need more money?
Now, there may be some deep philosophical reason ("an individual should not be forced to pay taxes on the basic necessities of life"), but if that's so important, why is everyone forced to pay those embedded taxes today? Shouldn't we all be getting a prebate today to offset those embedded and hidden taxes on the basic necessities of life?
The only conclusion I can reach is that you're not telling me the truth about the Fair Tax.
So when you can't understand something it must be because you are being lied to? Yet you lie yourself. What is that? Nevermind, I know the answer.

Ask a socialist.

'Everyone' is not paying embedded taxes. Many of the poor are currently subsidized, for example with food stamps which today are doled out as debit cards.

Uh...yeah....that's in the FairTax bill. But under the Income tax, socialists believe only the poor should receive handouts. At last you asked an intelligent question for the first time.

Of course, you can't comprehend, therefore it's all a lie!
What kind of mind continually draws such conclusions? And what is it about the figures that I am lying about? Figures don't lie. Is that why I have seen none from you SQLs?
