Perhaps I have not been clear, your comment is a non sequitor. What I am saying is that Americans will suffer nearly any amount of taxation because they love their social programs. In no way does that “put money in their pocketbooks”
You need to get out more often.
The average recipient of EBT, housing assistance, Medicaid are not people that ‘love’ their social programs. They have one driving thought in mind, survival.
FairTax policies hit them right square in their spending. Naturally, they will want the rebate to be higher and the NRST to be lower.
