Geez, if you screw up the basic concept of refunding everyone's sales tax up to the poverty level, the rest of your ranting is proven unreliable and worthless.
Actually that's not true. I could make a mistake (I didn't and actually was conservative with my 20 g's #) and the rest of my "rant" (hardly a rant, more like simple disagreement with this policy) could still stand. Prebates are prebates, handouts are handouts.
Is the 9 percent income tax for everyone too or do those families making 22,500 not pay that either? Just questions I have. If they do they just received a 9% income tax hike on the poorest Americans.
If they don't they receive an estimated prebate check for what they may spend on sales tax in the coming year. That is a new welfare subsidy.
Do we end the food stamp program that 1/6th of Americans are on now or does that stay in place while we still hand out prebates. I just want to know because it sounds like a crap deal for the middle class.
That tax money comes from you and I. The Fed could always print more money I guess.
You sure your a libertarian while defending the virtues of government handouts? That's not very libertarian of you.
