Seriously? You’re not aware of the universal monthly “prebate” entitlement payments for which the Fair Tax would be created to fund?

Fully aware of it. But how does it have anything to do with 30%? The exclusive FT rate applied to a shopping cart of the ‘basics’ establishes the prebate, subject to a few other notions. Your choice of the word ‘entitlement’ includes the concept of selecting recipients based on some criteria that entitles them to the funds/assistance. That’s not the case with the prebate, as you likely are aware. The prebate is not means tested.

FWIW, I don’t agree with the idea of the prebate, although I’m an FT supporter. I’d be more than happy to settle for a slightly lower FT rate and eliminate the prebate idea.
