If that was true, they could simply lower the tax rate for everyone, making the Fair Tax [sic] actually a fair tax by charging
everyone the same nominal
and effective tax rates. There's no need to pass it through the government's hands at all, if the goal is to redistribute my wealth to myself. Just let me keep it.
But that's not their plan. Instead, they intentionally put a handout into their plan, and do a lot of hand waving to distract people from the fact that it's a handout. That's socialist weath distribution no matter how hard they try to spin it.
