With the NRST if a person doesn't want to pay the tax they can choose to not buy the item -- and they can still get a check every month to cover the tax up to the poverty level

Is getting a welfare check every month supposed to impress me? Where does that money come from?

The REBATE is not welfare, as welfare is transferred from other individuals. A REBATE is money already paid. Folks who receive the rebate are just receiving the money they'll pay in taxes on necessities. It's not a transfer from any other individual....it is money paid back to yourself...just like any REBATE. Look it up.

It's not a welfare check. It's a way to recover the tax that must be paid on necessities, like food and medicine, which aren't taxed now, up to the poverty level for each household. A 23% percent retail sales tax on necessities would be far to heavy a burden on the poor thus the reason for the tax probate check. It's not a welfare check and it has been explained to you several times how and why it's not a welfare check. It makes no difference to me how you chose to present yourself -- it's your credibility, not mine.

You're the one person on the tax threads that has, by far, most discredited themselves. You're the undisputed champion, lewislynn.
