Entroper I answered you question in my previous post to Kasz. However to bring up a point about the different costs of goods in different areas.

I believe the Poverty level is not exactly perfect. A much better way to measure the cost of living would be regional. A person making $20,000 might be able to survive in Oklahoma, but would not be able to make it in NYC. A regional system would be much better and could/should be moved towards to avoid what you bring up.

As far as registering requiring an address, I am in favor of this. If you live in any type of conventional housing you can get the Prebate. If you have a job but live in your car, The FairTax could have an exception. Upon proof of employment you could have your prebate mailed there.

Guys I just found an article on Slate.com (not a conservative strong hold) about the FairTax. Here it is: http://www.slate.com/id/2181833/nav/tap3/

Just thought you should read it.


Again, this is MORE bureaucracy, not less.  Once we start adding exceptions and loopholes, we've got another IRS.  I warned about this a few pages back.   The FairTax isn't even implemented and already we're thinking of new ways to complicate it!  :)
