Actually that's not true. I could make a mistake (I didn't and actually was conservative with my 20 g's #) and the rest of my "rant" (hardly a rant, more like simple disagreement with this policy) could still stand. Prebates are prebates, handouts are handouts.
Is the 9 percent income tax for everyone too or do those families making 22,500 not pay that either? Just questions I have. If they do they just received a 9% income tax hike on the poorest Americans.
If they don't they receive an estimated prebate check for what they may spend on sales tax in the coming year. That is a new welfare subsidy.
Do we end the food stamp program that 1/6th of Americans are on now or does that stay in place while we still hand out prebates. I just want to know because it sounds like a crap deal for the middle class.
That tax money comes from you and I. The Fed could always print more money I guess.
You sure your a libertarian while defending the virtues of government handouts? That's not very libertarian of you.
Hang on, you've switched from the Fairtax to the 9-9-9 plan. I don't know how fleshed out Cain's plan is, but it is my understanding that everyone would pay the 9%. And what is with the 'not pay that either' thing. I just showed you how with the fairtax, families are treated no differently based on what they make.

Different issue. I think it should end, but that is a spending issue, which is not addressed by a bill changing revenue. It also doesn't address NASA, the Dept. of Education or Air Force One use by the First Lady.

Pointing out your errors regarding the prebate policy in the FairTax plan isn't defending, it's correcting. I'm actually more of a 'conservatarian' than anything, as if that really matters. And if the check is a rebate (just before it's actually collected) of sales tax, it's not a handout, but a tax refund. If you overpay on your income tax, do you consider your refund check welfare?
