How will they know who gets prebates without monitoring everyone's income? I thought that fair tax was supposed to eliminate that. Flat tax is no better because income must be monitored.

I think that any tax based on revealing income should be illegal.

With the prebate, everyone is eligible for the same amount. No need to monitor anything related to income or spending. It is a flat rate that refunds all taxes paid up to the poverty level of spending.
