Sorry but you're wrong. the FairTax IS revenue neutral as has been shown repeatedly. You just wish to not accept that since it destroys your "anti" arguments.

The prebate cost is covered as part of that revenue neutral calculation. You can look it up in any of several different spots - but of course you won't bother.

Bingo. The tax rate had to be raise 3-4 percent to raise the extra money needed to pay for the prebate. It is revenue neutral, but only after the costs of the prebate are figured in. Therefore several hundred Billion EXTRA will have to be raised to payout the prebate so the fair tax ends up being revenue neutral. I know this will take at least 1000 posts to you before you actually get it. Otherwise you would be a few hundred billion dollars short of being revenue neutral. You have to pay for this entitlement somewhere.
