“Americans For Fair Taxation will have people at Tea Party rallies throughout the country so get used to it.”

You might recall that I’ve strongly opposed any so-called “Fair” Tax that includes the socialistic “prebates” program.

But, other conservatives should definitely NOT make you feel unwelcome to join any Tea Party rallies and discuss your ideas there. I’m quite sure there will be a number of other well-intentioned bad ideas floating around. And some good ideas too.

It is enough for now, that as many folks as possible express public outrage over the current situation. We do not need to agree on a specific plan for the future by next week.

I would be to if it were socialistic. It is a common misconception that the prebate will be sufficient to pay bills and thereby discourage people from working. The truth is it won't come close to covering the cost of sustaining a house hold as it will only cover the cost of taxes on necessities upto the poverty level Fair Tax Faq #3. A family of four from the chart at the link will only receive a monthly prebate of $537 or $6440 annually. No family could survive alone on this amount. At least one member of the household will still have to work full time to pay bills as they do now.

The income tax is far more socialistic than The Fair Tax will be considering the former is used as a weapon of punishment and control against the people and has stolen our freedoms over the years thanks to the heavy handed tactics of the IRS. All that goes away with The Fair Tax.
