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.

So now your lies have stooped to this level? Just out of curiousity, did you mean "your" or are you a polygamist as well as a socialist?

No, under hr2525 the government sends a government check to every american. The amount of that handout has nothing to do with "necessities", it is value based on the poverty level as defined by a government bureaucracy.

More lies. Your post was about supporting the government handout scheme in the bill. If you were really interested in removing the hand of government, you would suggest the removal of the government handout. Without it, a NRST as a replacement for the income tax wouldn't be a bad thing. But with it, it is tainted by socialism. But that's what you want. You can't stand the idea of not getting your government check and losing your ability to leech off the taxes paid by other people.

I've already stated my views multiple times. Eliminate the bureaucracy and just charge a lower flat rate, and if someone complains about taxing "necessities", then just don't collect a tax on those items (food, clothing, shelter, and possibly medicine) in the first place. But you aren't satisfied with this simply, non-intrusive solution. Instead, you want a system where there is a government bureaucracy sending handouts to every household in the U.S. of an amount that has nothing to do with the amount of taxes those individuals paid. In other words, you can't stand the idea of losing your government check and being able to leech off the taxes paid by others.
