Every month you would get a prebate that covered the tax for the minimum basic necessities that a faily of your particular size should be spending. I dont have my book in front of em but we will say that comes out to 150 a month for a family of 4.

Alpine was correct. The fairtax would also remove taxes in business to business transactions so the average price of items will go down by an average of 22%.


If you havent read them yet, Neal Boortz and John Linder have 2 books out right now. The Fairtax Book, and Fairtax: The Truth: Answering the Critics. They answer 99% of the questions you would have on this.

I'll be the first to say that I dont think the Fairtx is perfect in every way, but I cannot find a single portion of it that is not superior to the current tax system we have now.
