...with a rebate to ensure that no one pays taxes on spending up to the poverty level. Destined to fail if the bureaucrats and the spenders set the new rules. Like setting the "poverty rate".
The two areas I see as ripe for the traditional abuse is what is taxed? And what is the poverty level?
In addition, every resident who pays no tax will support every new abuse to the "improved" system, if they continued to be allowed to vote. Not being able to vote is the price you pay for being kept as a pet forever.

The more complicated the tax system, the less the people can understand it. This makes it easy for the politicians to manipulate it and use it as a cashcow to milk more money out of the people. They use all this money for THEMSELVES of course.
To anyone with an IQ over 100, this is obvious.
Unfortunately, half the population has an IQ less than 100, and many of them believe that the politicians are looking out for their interests (these people are called morons). Add them to the sociopaths, the politicians (many of whom ARE sociopaths), the rest of the self-serving, the drug-dazed, the apathetic, and those who, for whatever reason, lack the wit to comprehend reality (these people are called nutcases, psychotics, or merely the delusional), and more than half of the populations LOVES the incomprehensable tax system just as it is--A CASHCOW FOR THE POLITICIANS.
You'd stand a better chance of pulling the politicians' teeth that getting this cashcow away from them.
They LOVE it. It makes them rich and powerful! It KEEPS them rich and powerful!

Lauzen is wrong on this point. It will rebate taxes on necessities up to the poverty level. They will not receive a rebate on any other items.

Thanks, R.

The same us true of Trial Lawyers and their Cashcow, viz. the Medical Malpractice Scam, that has priced medical care out of reach of everyone.
It would be easier to pull the Trial Lawyers' teeth than to get THIS Cashcow away from them!
They love it! It makes the RICH! It keeps them RICH!

The truth is you'd get a rebate even if you never spent a dime...If that's not the truth list the taxable "items" you would receive a rebate for buying...Please be specific.

No, just keeping you Fairtax clowns honest...as if that's possible.

Does everyone create something? What do you create exactly?

It seems to me that Man50 was describing the rebate as money returned for taxes paid up to the poverty line. You are grasping at straws.
Yes you would get a rebate if you never spent a dime. Kind of like now, under the income tax, the way you get a tax credit for income you never earned. And if you don't owe and have never paid any tax PRESTO you get a refund anyway.
