I don't know about you, but under the nrst I'd pay less tax and have more purchasing power. All legal particpants in today's income/payroll tax system will.

And non-retail and non-service businesses would pay no tax.

And every address would get a government check based solely on family size, like a welfare check...every month (but it's not an entitlement).

And the government would get the same amount of revenue it does now.

It would be nirvana!

Just because an entitlement is defined as "An individual's right to receive a value or benefit provided by law" doesn't mean the right to recieve a monthly NRST benefit payment from the federal government is an entitlement because, er, uh... Shut up, that's why!

Sorry - wrong (or lying) once more. Every address would not get a prebate. Only those who qualify who register for it. Illegal aliens are not eligible.

And the government would probably end up getting more revenue until the cut he FairTax rate to, say, 12% (ti).

Nirvana???? No FairTax supporter I know has called it that, but many HAVE said it's one hell of a lot better than the income tax for almost all taxpayers!!.

See #230 for one such example.
