The amount of the check is exactly the amount spent on necessities AS DEFINED BY THE INDIVIDUAL, not the government

More of your lies. The amount of the government handout is determined by the government, not the individual.

Your myopic view is that only government can decide what is necessary.

On the contrary, it is you who are proposing a system that does exactly that, by setting the amount of tax supposedly paid on "necessities" and then giving a government check of that amount to every household, regardless of how much money they did or did not actually pay in taxes.

With HR2525, individuals get to decide what's necessary. Are you opposed to individuals having that much independence? It seems so

More of your revisionist lies. No system that attempts to achieve the objective of "independence" of the individual would involve the government handout "prebate" that you insist is a cornerstone of your system. You've just become accustomed to getting government checks and don't want to give up your ability to leech off of the taxes paid by others.

The amount of the check is exactly the amount spent on necessities AS DEFINED BY THE INDIVIDUAL, not the government.

When did you stop beating our wife.?

Your reply did not address the post to which you replied. Again, under then nrst hr2525, the individual defines necessities, not the governemnt.

My post was not about any check of any kind. It was an assertion that under HR2525, the individual decides what is necessary, not the government.

I further assert that you are opposed to this individual decision making. Likely you oppose it b/c you are a leftist who believes that we need government to decide for us what is necessary for our lives.

Why have a rebate for consumption at all? Eliminate more paperwork and rebate checks, which would eliminate much of the administrative cost and bureacracy. What does it cost to administer the rebates? How much could the tax be lowered by eliminating the rebate?

It seems so simple to have escaped the legislators...Of course then everyone will pay some tax, what a unique thought, everyone that benefits from the government pays for it. Ah yes reminds me of that old bumper sticker, A$$ Gas (Grass)or Cash, no one rides for free.....
