Are you that dense? Were we not discussing the Rebate provision of the FairTax?
The Rebate prohibits federal taxation for EVERY AMERICAN up to the spending level of life essentials by rebating or prebating such taxes or by simply issuing a credit to a card so that the NRST is prohibited from applying until the credit level is reached.
All of these things are discussed here:

Read the Bill, not the sales pitch.
The prebate is determined by family size and poverty level, and is paid to the family or if multiple persons in the family are registered to receive payment then the payment is divided evenly between those persons designated.
