Think of the Prebate as an advanced refund for the taxes on the goods and services required to live.

Oh how nice of them! Can't we just skip the minimum wage at the same time? I mean so the parasite employees won't steal too much of the employers money.

Nice troll. You fail. Try again. Bring something useable to the argument

Well,

My argument is that the fair tax is about as fair as: "The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets or steal bread."

The state favours in general the higher socioeconomic classes and this to an even greaten extent in the "liberal state", just think about property rights.

Those most favoured by the state can (and shall IMO) pay a higher tax than the minimum wage-earner.

 

And about bums; do you think those "lazy guys" will have a better life than you have, just because they "just want to take it easy all the time". They will in general live 20 years shorter than you will, have as a group several 100 percent bigger risk than average Joes to get murdered or robbed.

 

 Ok, first as a non-point I would like to know if you are a citizen of the US? That holds no bearing over your ability to contribute or question the FairTax, I am just curious.

Secondly, I do not understand what you are getting at when you say:

The state favours in general the higher socioeconomic classes and this to an even greaten extent in the "liberal state", just think about property rights.

Those most favoured by the state can (and shall IMO) pay a higher tax than the minimum wage-earner.

When you say that I think of the government giving preference to those groups. I do not think that is what you are saying. Please clarify if you want an answer.

As for those "lazy bums" if they want to work, I know a McD's down the street looking to hire people.

I believe that there is more merit to work than simply earning money. It teaches you responsibility and equity. It gives you a purpose to get up everyday. I have heard of experiments where a man lived alone without much if any contact with other people. After several months he found that he was obsessing over his daily work. He also found that when he did not work, he was going a little loony (crazy, cooky, cabin fever, etc.). Work allows people to live longer in my opinion. It helps give men and women purpose in their lives. It should not define them unless it is their life's work. When people do not put their hands to a good purpose, like work, they tend to do idle things and "evil" things like rob and kill. Show me a man with a solid work ethic and I will show you a man, who for the most part, will stay out of trouble.
