If people can rely on the charity of others, then why have this prebate? I don't understand why you can't just have a lower "Fair tax" get rid of the prebate system, and let the charities pick up all of the slack for those who can't afford to pay the consumption tax? 

The prebate system is my biggest problem with this tax other then the fact that we don't know what would happen until it did, because it seems it would put many more americans at the mercy of a welfare like system where they are dependant on a monthly government check.
